“The Berlinale is colorful,” said Minister of State for Culture Claudia Roth. And felt she had to underline this with a blouse that was more colorful than colorful. “Let a hundred flowers bloom,” Mao involuntarily came to mind because of the variety of flowers on her robe: “Let a hundred schools compete with each other.” Ultimately, the “Great Chairman” himself did not tolerate this, like all autocrats and dictators before and after not him.
The Berlinale explicitly sees itself as the most political film festival in the world. And demonstrated this at the opening with powerful statements against the right, against anti-Semitism and racism. According to her self-image, she has to endure arguments – and therefore experiences heated controversies and bitter debates, which, however, have already degenerated into fistfights. In the highly emotional atmosphere, especially with the focus on Gaza and Ukraine, one can only hope that quiet, lovingly directed films are not overlooked, such as Andreas Dresen’s homage to Hans and Hilde Coppi, representative of the workers’ resistance against Hitler and all the long-forgotten and slandered victims of communists in the Federal Republic of Germany against the most barbaric regime of all time.
