Spent the past 2 weeks juggling my Berlinale screenings with a lot of work. While this edition was slightly underwhelming, I did end up loving 5 films, and watched plenty of others that were very, very good. Here is a ranking of my favorites from the fest!

Woke up to the Berlin art-house chain adding special screenings of Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart next week. Grabbed these as fast as I could: never watched Wild at Heart on the big screen, so I'm ready to cry tears of joy during Love Me Tender 💙
