C’è poca Italia, anzi pochissima, nella line-up della Berlinale 2025, in programma dal 13 al 23 febbraio sotto la direzione artistica di Tricia Tuttle, ex direttrice del BFI London Film Festival succeduta a Carlo Chatrian e Mariette Rissenbeek.
Dopo l’annuncio del film d’apertura (il Das Licht di Tom Tykwer di cui vi parlavamo qui) e l’anticipazione di Mickey 17 di Bong Joon Ho, l’organizzazione della 75ª edizione ha svelato il programma completo e i film del concorso ufficiale che concorreranno per l’Orso d’Oro, assegnato quest’anno da una giuria presieduta da Todd Haynes, regista di May December e Carol. Spiccano, tra i titoli, Blue Moon di Richard Linklater, interpretato da Ethan Hawke e Margaret Qualley, e Dreams di Michel Franco, che ritrova Jessica Chastain dopo il commovente Memory, presentato a Venezia nel 2023. Occhi puntati anche su Hot Milk, il debutto nel lungometraggio dell’acclamata sceneggiatrice Rebecca Lenkiewicz (She Said) con Emma Mackey, Fiona Shaw e Vicky Krieps e If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, il film di Mary Bronstein con Rose Byrne, A$AP Rocky e Conan O’Brien.

Non ci sono titoli italiani in concorso, anticipavamo in apertura, se non due co-produzioni: Yunan di Ameer Fakher Eldin (co-produzione Germania, Canada, Italia, Palestina, Qatar, Giordania e Arabia Saudita) e Reflet dans un diamant mort dei registi Hélène Cattet e Bruno Forzan, realizzato insieme al Belgio, Lussemburgo e Francia.
In generale, il programma del concorso comprende film provenienti da 26 paesi e otto film diretti o co-diretti da registe donne.“Siamo fieramente orgogliosi dei film in concorso quest’anno, che mostrano l’ampiezza del cinema e offrono affascinanti scorci su vite e luoghi diversi”, ha dichiarato Tuttle, descrivendo i film selezionati come “drammi intimi che ci chiedono di comprendere le fragilità e i punti di forza dell’essere umano: c’è una commedia delicata ma anche la satira più tagliente e nera; ci sono film che rendono omaggio ai grandi del cinema e quelli che utilizzano la tela più completa di questa forma d’arte”.
Nell’annunciare la scaletta, la nuova Direttrice ha parlato del suo desiderio di ampliare l’appeal del festival, pur mantenendo le sue radici politiche. “Non possiamo e non vogliamo sottrarci alla politica. È probabilmente nel DNA della città e del festival stesso”, ha affermato. “Ma è giusto dire che la Berlinale è tante cose, per tutti i festival e per tutte le culture in questo momento, l’agenda delle notizie può spesso dominare la scena. Noi speriamo davvero che i film che il pubblico vedrà nel corso di queste settimane di festival faranno parlare della vivacità della forma d’arte stessa”.
Per l’edizione numero 75, la Berlinale ha introdotto una nuova sezione competitiva chiamata Perspectives, composta da 14 lungometraggi d’esordio, 12 dei quali in anteprima mondiale. “Perspectives, il nostro nuovo concorso per lungometraggi di finzione, riunisce eccezionali registi internazionali, che spaziano dall’India al Messico, da Taiwan all’Egitto, dagli Stati Uniti alla Slovenia”, ha dichiarato Tuttle.
Altri nove titoli, infine, sono stati aggiunti al programma Special Gala, tra cui il candidato all’Oscar A Complete Unknown di James Mangold con Timothée Chalamet, già presentato giorni fa in anteprima a Roma. Il festival ospiterà anche una proiezione del film di Peter Wollen del 1987 Friendship’s Death, interpretato da Tilda Swinton, come parte del suo tributo all’Orso d’Oro onorario.
