2022 Berlinale: Seidl, Sangsoo, Hers, Meier, Taviani, Denis Cote & Clare Denis in Golden Bear Comp

Several of the names that figured in our most anticipated list and a new Hong Sangsoo project (The Novelist’s Film) are among the eighteen feature films competing for the Golden Bear in Berlin next moth. We find some “Denis” films in Clare Denis‘ Both Sides of the Blade and Denis Côté‘s Un été comme ça. We have two feature film debuts in Call Jane by Phyllis Nagy (the only non-world premiere in the comp) and film editor Natalia Lopez Gallardo‘s debut film (formerly known as “Supernova”) Robe of Gems . These films will compete alongside established vets such as Ulrich Seidl with Rimini (formerly titled “Wicked Games”), Paolo Taviani‘s Leonora Addio (#94 in our most anticipated list) and Rithy Panh‘s Everything Will Be Ok. Here is the last wave of titles announced for 72nd edition.
