Berlinale-column : The most Beautiful at the end is always the kiss

At the end of the Berlinale are all finished. Me to smarten up, I go to the L'oréal-make-up Studio, a kind of glitter of the Ufo that landed on the Potsdamer Platz. "Sorry, we have no more appointments free. Because you would have had to come at the beginning,“ says to me a woman at the Ufo entrance. My objection is that I looked at the beginning, is still fit, not convinced. As a consolation, she gives me a small gold-plated Eiffel tower. This Berlin-Souvenirs I still had not.

The most Beautiful at the end of the Preisgalas. Stupidly departed, the Directors usually. A canadian camera woman or Turkmen Tonhelfer take the prices; the effect, at least surprised. Here is my Golden gummy bears:

The best Film was, as always, out of competition: "Vice" is a great portrait of a really Unporträtierbaren, the former US Vice-President Dick Cheney. As one of the most secretive men in the politics, he built in the back ruthlessly and behind the back of President George W. Bush, a shadow government, long before the whole White house had a shadow.

This satirical somersaults and bitter seriously staged Film about the beyond the borders of the Feasible of Power they had before the last US election time, on a Fox News broadcast. Then some would be spared.

The best German Film is set in Bulgaria: "The pit" is a washed-up thermal pools on the beach of Varna, a refuge of tranquility at the Golden beach of mass tourism. Here, old people hobble to play cards or a harmonica. "I found the love of my life, 61," laughs a man in the camera. The next scene shows him on the beach with his Russian girlfriend. The woman says: "For Bulgarian men, everything is difficult. In Russian there is no word for 'difficult'".

In the next scene, the man sitting alone in a car and tells that they have separated. I just want to cry in the cinema (which I do often), he laughs again: "I got a New one." The quiet sound of water on the beach. A pensioner sings: "dreams have no coasts, they are in you."

romance, ey! The most Beautiful at the end is a kiss.
