Five new titles, including the latest films from Zhang Yimou and Andre Techine, have joined the official selection of this year’s Berlin Film Festival. Adam McKay’s “Vice” has also been added, but will screen out of competition.
“Vice” has already won a Golden Globe for star Christian Bale’s portrayal of former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and picked up six BAFTA nominations last week, including for Bale, supporting actor Sam Rockwell and supporting actress Amy Adams. The festival screening will mark its German premiere.
The new additions to the main competition lineup include the world premieres of Zhang’s “One Second” and Nadav Lapid’s “Synonyms.” Techine’s “Farewell to the Night,” which stars Catherine Deneuve, also receives its world premiere at the Berlinale but will play out of competition.

Exclusive: French-Canadian drama Nelly is set for a U.S. release after Cinema Libre Studio picked up the rights to Anne Émond’s feature film.
The company, hot on the heels of picking up Vanessa Filho-directed and Marion Cotillard-fronted Angel Face, has taken U.S. rights from eOne’s Seville International.
The film, which stars French-Canadian actress and Toronto International Film Festival Rising Star Myléne Mackay (Endorphine), tells the story of Nelly Arcan, a sex worker in Montreal who wrote a semi-autobiographical novel Putain, based on her experiences.
Arcan, who wrote about self-destruction and feminine beauty as obsessive themes in all of her books, was fixated on being an object of desire herself and she killed herself in 2009, four days after submitting the last edits to her fourth book.
The film, which premiered at Tiff, was produced by Go Films’ Nicole Roberts and was written by Émond. It...

Eager to see ‘Lou Andreas-Salomé, The Audacity to be Free’ which just opened in NYC (at the Village East) on April 20th and is opening in La on April 27th (at Laemmle Royal), I wanted to learn how this forgotten woman of the late 19th century and early 20th century thought and interacted as an equal to with the likes of Friedrich Nietzsche, the poet Rainer Marie Rilke and Sigmund Freud.
Directed by a woman, Cordula Kablitz-Post, the historical feature reveals the nonconforming life choices of Lou Andreas-Salomé, an intellectual and the first female psychoanalyst. Born 1861, Lou Andreas Salomé was a radical for her time who shunned tradition in pursuit of intellectual perfection, inflaming the hearts and inspiring the minds of the early 19th Century’s greatest thinkers. Even after her death, Lou has remained a controversial figure who was considered a groundbreaking philosopher and author by her famous male peers Nietzsche and Freud,...

She may be all but unknown to Americans, but Russian-born thinker Lou Andreas-Salome, reportedly the first female psychoanalyst, was viewed as a peer by such boldface names as Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Rainer Maria Rilke. She was the object of both romantic love and intense intellectual admiration — usually at the same time, even though she was famous for refusing amorous affairs and the shackles they came with. Though Cordula Kablitz-Post's feature debut Lou Andreas-Salome, The Audacity to be Free views this very unconventional woman through the conventions of the biopic, its drama benefits from a viewer's ignorance of her...

There’s a great line spoken by an aged Lou Andreas-Salomé (Nicole Heesters) to new friend and potential biographer Ernst Pfeiffer (Matthias Lier) upon his praise-fueled declaration that the way she lived her life — her freedom — was a touchstone for modern feminism. Her reply is, “Nonsense. What’s changed for us women since then?” It’s not presented as a jaded reaction or one specifically attached to the era in which she spoke it (the 1930s), though, because you could say the same today and not be wrong. Yes, women do have it better, but the world has still not found its way towards true equality. See #GamerGate, the Wahlberg/Williams pay disparity on All the Money in the World, and the struggles endured by the women in your life.

A boldly unconventional woman gets a crushingly conventional biopic with “Lou Andreas-Salomé, The Audacity to Be Free.” Such a heavy-handed title fits the film perfectly, far more than the original English-language handle, “In Love With Lou,” which confusingly made the movie sound like a sitcom. In her feature debut, director and co-writer Cordula Kablitz-Post clearly decided that Andreas-Salomé, famed author, philosopher and psychoanalyst, needed to be treated not just with kid gloves, but with pristine laminated mitts, robbing her subject of humor, let alone the charm that bewitched the likes of Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Maria Rilke and Sigmund Freud. This one’s strictly for audiences who love historical name-dropping; German box office following its June 2016 opening was negligible.
Kablitz-Post set herself the admirable task of rescuing Andreas-Salomé from being relegated to the role of muse, recognizing that her name is more often featured as an adjunct to famous men rather...

Eichinger’s Hands Of A Mother won three prizes at the German Cinema New Talent Awards.
