Unfortunately, many things went against me in Berlin and prevented me from watching the eventual big
winners like Fire At Sea (Golden Bear), Death In Sarajevo (Jury Prize) and United States of Love (Silver Bear for
Screenplay), but that doesn't mean the films below are any less
deserving of recognition and praise.
