report from Berlin International Film Festival

Hi Friends,

My report from the Berlin Film Festival is delayed because I couldn't
find a way to improve on Guy's blog:
(http://www.cbc.ca/arts/blog/maddinberlin/2007/02/when_in_berlin.html)

or this great review in the Financial Times:
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/8fd61cbe-bf95-11db-9ac2-000b5df10621.html

So I won't try, but will leave you with this Google translation of the
last paragraph of a German newspaper review, in which "Guy Maddin" has
become WAD DIN, (a Chinese porn auteur?):

"Alone the vision already, which propel WAD DIN, its love für's -
motivische like purely physical - material and not least the stubborn
self-willedness, with which WAD DIN moves in front durch's work,
particularly probably permit also in fire Upon the Brain nothing else
as joyful being astonished, in the German opera, where the film will
be specified to 15.02. in (already sold off) a special demonstration
with noise and music orchestras and Isabelle Rosselini as
Filmerzählerin (in the normal cinema its comment part that is clay
pure)."
