Summary of the second day of Berlin Film Festival： Nicole Kidman’s new film was badly reviewed.

Nicole Kidman and james franco’s new film "The Queen of the Desert" suffered from word of mouth.

　 　 　1905 movie network news On February 6th, local time, Berlin Film Festival entered the schedule of the third competition day. On that day, three films were released in the main competition unit. Apart from the word-of-mouth defeat, the word-of-mouth with Forty-five Years was not bad. The European Film Market (EFM) unit has been launched, and many films will participate in the process of selling films and finding distributors and investors.

　

"The Queen of the Desert" Kidman’s portrayal of explorers was rated as "the most disappointing of the year"

　

　　　 The competition film "The Queen of the Desert" comes from werner herzog, one of the four outstanding German new films. Prior to this, werner herzog had been shortlisted for Venice and Cannes Film Festival for many times, while the Berlin Film Festival in his own country was shortlisted for the first time. The Queen of the Desert, starring james franco, Nicole Kidman, Robert Pattinson, Damian Lewis and other famous movie stars, tells the story of Gertrude Bell, an American female explorer in the 20th century. During the First World War, Gertrude Bell helped British intelligence to instigate Arabs to resist the rule of the Ottoman Empire. In 1921, she also helped Britain to establish the Kingdom of Iraq. In 1918, she served as the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau in Baghdad until her death. Judging from the theme and cast, the more practical goal of this film may be the North American film awards season at the end of 2015. In the media, the reputation of this film is extremely poor. IndieWire gave a score of D-, which is low enough to be considered as a "shame". The commentary said: "The biggest disappointment of the year, the film’s expression of a lot of content is futile. The cost of this film is $36 million, which is probably difficult to recover when it is released in North America. "

　Iranian popular director jafar panahi was praised for bringing the experimental documentary "Taxi" this time.

Iran’s experimental film Taxi won A+ evaluation for its originality.

　

　　　 Iranian director jafar panahi has always been a hot figure in the western film world. In 2006 and 2013, he won the jury award and the best screenplay award respectively. This is the third time he has come to the Berlin Film Festival. Taxi is a very interesting film. First of all, in a strict sense, this is a documentary, which records what jafar panahi saw and heard on the Iranian streets when he drove a yellow taxi, including the street scene and his chat with passengers. Then there is another question, that is, is such a film a movie? Or, "Taxi" is just an experiment of "playing with tickets" by jafar panahi. In fact, by coincidence, abbas kiarostami, who is also the flag of Iranian movies, has already done such a thing in the movies. It’s just that jafar panahi is more active, more WTO-bound and more grounded. According to the buzzwords, Abbas is cold and Panaxi is funny. The film didn’t express jafar panahi’s more thoughts. Variety Magazine said: "jafar panahi probably didn’t want to say anything at all. However, I still hope that this taxi will appear in other parts of the world before returning to the garage. " IndieWire gave A+ score, perhaps in Berlin, which is used to making a fuss about politics.The film may not return empty-handed.

Andrew haigh’s new film "Forty-five Years" has a general evaluation and is considered to be only suitable for Britain.　

Forty-five years has a strong British audience or is restricted by the region.

　

　　　 The third film "Forty-five Years" is from British director andrew haigh. He once filmed and made famous dramas. Forty-five Years focuses on married life. The story tells that Kate Morsel and her husband’s 45th wedding anniversary is imminent, and preparations for the celebration party are in full swing. At this time, the husband received a letter that the body of his first love was found in the Swiss Alps. Kate’s marriage may no longer exist when the wedding anniversary comes in five days. The film has received good reviews in the media, but its popularity in other countries may be reduced because of its self-centered British attributes. Variety Magazine commented: "The British nature of the film and the texture of contemporary independent films may make it popular in Britain, but in other European countries, people may find it difficult to empathize with the plot in the film."

　

　　　 In the aspect of Chinese films, John Woo set up a booth in EFM and published a cross-page advertisement in the magazine. Although the word-of-mouth and box office of "Taiping Wheel" in China are relatively bleak, in overseas markets, there are many stars participating in this film, which still has a certain appeal.
