| | 2003 Berlin Film Festival - A Report |
 | | I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to buy a ticket to see this film, but I haven't been able to get it out of my head and I don't imagine I ever will. |
 | | The Berlin Film Festival has always struggled with an inferiority complex in regard to its better-known rival, Cannes, which for starters takes place on the Riviera in May and not amid the frozen reaches of northern Germany in February. |
 | | Another Italian film called Pater Familias (Francesco Patierno, 2002) (part of the second, and biggest, section of the Festival, the Panorama), a tale of revenge and blighted lives set in the rough neighborhoods of Naples, sported the real Neapolitan dialect, but was marred by an overblown score that worked against the film's otherwise powerful themes. |
