The International
- 23 Feb 2009
Clive Owen and Naomi Watts get heavy on rogue banks. It’s a lot sexier than Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling, especially as Clive’s brand of punishment means jail terms and broken noses, not bail-outs and bonus caps. The International is hardly the first film to make arrogant capitalists the heavies, but the timing could hardly be better. (At the Berlin Film Festival recently Watts joked the global recession was a publicity stunt.) In fact Tom Tykwer’s thriller is inspired... Read more
Berlinale: Day 1
- 09 Feb 2009
From bad bankers to singing nuns: Berlinale 2009 is open. Are cinema goers - public and press alike - milder in their judgements in times of ecomonic turmoil? The opening of the 59th Berlin Film Festival might lead you to think so. When actors Clive Owen, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Ulrich Thomsen and Axel Milberg turned out along with director Tom Tykwer to present their film The International, it received resounding applause, even at the lunch time press showing. The reason for this is indeed... Read more

It's actually the surname of a young Romanian actress who takes the lead in the highlight of Day 3 at the Berlinale, Storm, the story of a young Bosnian woman who is called before the war crimes tribunal in the Hague to testify what she witnessed in the Yugoslav wars. In fact, German director Hans-Christian Schmid's... Read more
The Dance of the Golden Bears: LOVEFiLM at Berlinale 2009
- 09 Feb 2009
Fraudulent financiers and bad banks? No, it's not the credit crunch, but the opening film of the 59th Berlin Film Festival. The International, from director Tom Tykwer (Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, Run Lola Run) is an action thriller starring Clive Owen as an INTERPOL agent trying to bring down one of the world's most powerful - and criminal - banks. Certainly a topical choice to open Berlinale, which runs from 5th to 15th February. The world may be in a financial crisis, but that didn't... Read more
