 Semih Kaplanoğlu’s Honey (Bal), the third part of his reverse-order trilogy after Egg and Milk, became only the second Turkish film to win the Golden Bear in Berlin.
The Turkish-German co-production, described by Screen Daily critic Lee Marshall as “very beautiful and very studied, with a sometimes oppressive sense of directorial control”, also earned the Ecumenical Jury’s prize for best film in the competition. Susuz Yaz (Dry Summer) was the first Turkish film to win the Berlinale’s highest accolade in 1964.
The spirit of Roman Polanski loomed large over the Berlinale as the director was awarded the Silver Bear for best direction for The Ghost Writer. Polanski — currently under house arrest in Switzerland where he faces possible extradition to the Us — first won the Golden Bear more than 40 years ago in 1966 for Cul-de-Sac.
