Films Reviewed at Berlin Film Festival 2011

Caesar Must Die
Filmmakers have taken the idea of prison theatricals and fashioned it into an attractive yet only superficially thought-provoking semi-docu.

Diaz: Don't Clean Up This Blood
Though absolutes should generally be avoided, it's safe to say "Diaz: Don't Clean Up This Blood" breaks the record for most truncheon beatings in one movie.

Tabu
Even more than in "Our Beloved Month of August," Miguel Gomes begins "Tabu" in a seemingly ridiculous vein and unexpectedly shifts to something surprisingly enriching and poetic.

Jayne Mansfield's Car
Age-old clashes between fathers and sons are the rusty engine parts that drive "Jayne Mansfield's Car," a wheezy, schematic ensembler centered around two families in 1969 Alabama.

Sister
A poor boy from the valley down below robs the rich of their ski gear in the resorts up high in "Sister."

Marley
"Marley" is a generous, absorbing, family-authorized docu on the late, still-reigning king of reggae music.

Death Row
The critique of capital punishment Werner Herzog initiated with "Into the Abyss" comes to riveting fruition in "Death Row."

Farewell, My Queen
A well-observed but emotionally muted costume drama that might well have been titled "My Week With Marie Antoinette."

Romancing in Thin Air
A superstar and his erstwhile fan develop a high-concept romance when thrown together in an inn two-and-a-half miles above sea level in Johnnie To's gorgeous-looking escapist meller "Romancing in Thin Air."
