Todd Haynes‘ jury has delivered its verdict. This rather diverse selection included some interesting works, but lacked highlights (no masterpieces to be noted, but a few nice gestures) and included some films whose presence in the selection seemed guided by criteria other than aesthetics.
With a few exceptions, such as the Golden Bear for a film that, in our opinion, doesn’t count, or the oddity of awarding a prize to Andrew Scott for a very small role in a film in which Ethan Hawke delivered a masterful score, we find ourselves in the same boat. (Read our critical diary)
