Day 11 - Final Mash-Up

My traditional last-day cry for help came yesterday, so I don't have much to rounding up to do. The critical reaction continues to be luke-warm, though people agree that the Golden Bear winner, the Turkish film BAL, was a credible one. Weirdly, the critical reaction to JUD SÜSS was along the lines of "hm, it's a problematic portrayal that lacks a clear vision" rather than "It's a piece of shit created by an insane idiot." Which I found surprising. The mixture of embarrassment, despair and nihilistic delirium sort of engendered an entirely new emotion. But the best film was still Banksy's EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP.

But the Berlinale is a brilliant institution, and the people of Berlin still love it, as this year's record ticket sales - 270,000 - show. So here's a good tribute: "Mashup trailers", created by a Berlin film student. Selected Berliners dance out the logo.
