Vince Gianfranco Rosi!!! trionfa il cinema italiano in una edizione della Berlinale un po’ sottotono per quanto riguarda il concorso ufficiale, ma come diverse perle preziose fuori concorso, come il ritorno di Kitano da attore con un film voyeuristico, Creepy di Kioshi Kurosawa e il ritorno di Spike Lee con un film di denuncia sulle morti per arma da fuoco a Chicago, Chi-Raq, assolutamente da vedere!
E un curioso Micheal Moore che denuncia i limiti del welfare e del sistema economico USA rispetto a quello europeo.
Qui sotto le nostre recensioni da Berlino e il Programma.
