Twenty-three titles have now been set for the Competition of the sixty-eighth Berlin International Film Festival, and the Berlinale’s promising twenty-four. So while we await the mystery title, here are the five that have been added today, along with another six slated for the Berlinale Special program. Notes on all of them are on the way.
The festival will open on February 15 with Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs, run through February 25, and you can read about the previously announced Competition entries here and here.
