Una scaletta molto internazionale e d’essai, con una forte attenzione al cinema politico. È ciò che ci attende nel programma della 73ª edizione del Festival internazionale del cinema di Berlino, annunciato questa mattina dal Palazzo della Berlinale dalla direttrice esecutiva Mariette Rissenbeek e il direttore artistico Carlo Chatrian.
La 73ª edizione prenderà il via dal 16 al 26 febbraio 2023 e si aprirà con la prima mondiale di She Came to Me di Rebecca Miller, una commedia romantica interpretata da Peter Dinklage, Marisa Tomei, Joanna Kulig, Brian d’Arcy James e Anne Hathaway. Il film verrà proiettato fuori concorso nella sezione Berlinale Special Gala, sezione nella quale troveremo anche l’atteso Superpower, il documentario realizzato da Sean Penn e Aaron Kaufman sulla guerra russo-ucraina con il presidente ucraino Zelensky. L’Ucraina, che proprio un anno fa, il 24 febbraio, subiva la prima invasione russa avrà un ruolo centrale nei focus del Festival, con tanto di spilla ufficiale con i colori giallo e blu.
L’Italia sarà presente a Berlino con Mario Martone e Andrea di Stefano con i loro Laggiù qualcuno mi ama e L’ultima notte di Amore, presentati nelle sezioni Special, mentre in Concorso troviamo, come unico italiano, il giovane Giacomo Abbruzzese con Disco Boy, girato tra Italia, Francia, Belgio e Polonia. Le mura di Bergamo (The Walls of Bergamo) di Stefano Savona sarà presentato tra i documentari, mentre tra le serie, grande attesa per The Good Mothers di Julian Jarrold ed Elisa Amoruso che ci porteranno nel mondo dell’ndrangheta con un focus tutto al femminile.
Tra i film tedeschi in concorso troviamo le nuove fatiche di Christian Petzold (premio della critica FIPRESCI alla Berlinale 2020 con Undine e Orso d’argento per la migliore regia nel 2012 con Barbara), Celine Song, Christoph Hochhäusler e Margarethe von Trotta, quest’ultima in gara con un altro ritratto potente al femminile sulla poetessa Ingeborg Bachmann interpretata da una sempre più convincente Vicky Krieps (Il corsetto dell’imperatrice).
Nella sezione Special occhi puntati su Golda con Helen Mirren nei panni della premier israeliana Golda Meir e sull’horror fantascientifico di Brandon Cronenberg Infinity Pool, con Alexander Skarsgård e Mia Goth.
Ricordiamo che la giuria internazionale sarà presieduta dall’attrice statunitense Kristen Stewart, mentre l’Orso d’oro alla carriera sarà assegnato a Steven Spielberg, al quale sarà dedicata la sezione “Homage”.
Questo, nel dettaglio, il programma di Berlino 73:
