Sono stati annunciati dal direttore artistico Carlo Chatrian e dalla direttrice esecutiva Mariette Rissenbeek i film in concorso nelle sezioni Competition e Encounters della 73ª edizione del Festival internazionale del cinema di Berlino in programma da giovedì 16 a domenica 26 febbraio prossimi.

Calcheranno il tappeto rosso Sean Penn con il documentario Superpower sul presidente ucraino Volodymyr Zelensky, la regista tedesca Margarethe von Trotta, Jesse Eisenberg, l’attore / regista canadese Matt Johnson, l’autore sudcoreano Hong Sangsoo e la regista coreano-canadese Celine Song.

La commedia romantica di Rebecca Miller She Came To Me, invece con Peter Dinklage, Marisa Tomei, Joanna Kulig, Brian d’Arcy James e Anne Hathaway, invece, aprirà il Festival la cui giuria è presieduta da Kristen Stewart.

A rappresentare l’Italia saranno presenti Mario Martone con il documentario su Massimo Troisi Laggiù qualcuno mi ama e il film L’ultima notte di Amore di Andrea Di Stefano con protagonista Pierfrancesco Favino.

Unico regista italiano in concorso è Giacomo Abbruzzese con il suo Disco Boy, girato tra Italia, Francia, Belgio e Polonia. Stefano Savona presenterà, invece, il documentario Le mura di Bergamo (The walls of Bergamo), mentre nella neonata sezione Berlinale Series arriva The Good Mothers di Julian Jarrold ed Elisa Amoruso, una serie al femminile sulle donne che seppero ribellarsi alla ‘ndrangheta.
