The Berlin film festival have announced about a half-dozen titles to their upcoming competition section with Errol Morris' highly anticipated docu film on the non-vacation spot of Abu Ghraib prison leading the pack. S.O.P.: Standard Operating Procedure will be joined by future-Oscar nominated  Paul Thomas Anderson film There Will Be Blood. Also filling about the section is Fernando Eimbcke's workshopped Lake Tahoe, about a thirteen-year-old Juan is obsessed with repairing the car he has just crashed, his late father’s final gift to him. As he wanders the city searching for parts, Juan is forced to make the transition from childhood to adulthood in the course of a day. The Mexican filmmaker last made the low-budget Duck Season.

Falling in the same zone as City of God, Brazilian entry
Tropa Elite is getting an international premiere, local helmer Doris Doerrie's Cherry Blossoms - Hanami will make a prsence, Chinese director Wang Xiaoshuai (who won the silver Bear at the 01 edition with Beijing Bicycle) is bringing along In Love We Trust and U.K-U.S co-production of Gardens of the Night
by Damian Harris follows an eight-year-old girl and boy who are taken from their homes and convinced that their families do not want them anymore. After enduring nine years of horror, they are set free. Now, 16-years-old and no one to turn to except each other, they do their best to survive life on the streets.

The other titles will be announced in January. Stay tuned for more info.

Review: The Kid With a Bike

Review: The Kid With a Bike

"Despite the one-dimensionality of its anti-patriarchal theme (appeasing the knee-jerk expectations of European film fest audiences), the Dardennes avoid cheapening the story with ideological smugness, achieving an emotional resonance without easy sentimentality."

Review: Wrong

"Encoded in the outlandish humor that pervades the film are bits of commentary on everyday life. The most overt is Dupieux's urging to appreciate the relationships around you, which is manifested in the dog kidnapping, but also in a subplot in which a woman from the pizzeria moves between men without even realizing they have changed. Another cultural critique is found in the rainy office, an instantly recognizable visual metaphor for how dreary a 9 to 5 job can be."
