From this year's #Berlinale, I asked directors—including Benning, Burnett, Gomis, Hammer, Lurf, Schanelec, Schleinzer, and Verbinski—of some of the best films at the festival to share key moments from their new films with @mubinotebook. mubi.com/en/notebook/po…

My #Berlinale2026 favorites (2/2): 06 MOUSE (Kelly O’Sullivan, Alex Thompson) 07 QUEEN AT SEA (Lance Hammer) 08 LONDON (Sebastian Brameshuber) 09 THE LONELIEST MAN IN TOWN (Tizza Covi, Rainer Frimmel) 10 DOGGERLAND (Kim Ekberg)

My #Berlinale2026 favorites (1/2): 01 FOREVER...FOREVER (Johann Lurf) 02 IF I WERE ALIVE (André Novais Oliveira) 03 MY WIFE CRIES (Angela Schanelec) 04 ON OUR OWN (Tudor Cristian Jurgiu) 05 DAO (Alain Gomes)

"Imagine if Josef von Sternberg’s movies were only close-ups of Marlene Dietrich, or if Michael Bay’s were simply one explosion after another. This is where the mainstream and the avant-grade meet, isolating and purifying the contents and attributes of commercial cinema into its most potent distillate. All filmmakers should take note of [Hélène] Cattet and [Bruno] Forzani, for they see every element of their films—each image, action, and sound—as an opportunity for ingenuity that can inspire gasps of delight and shock."⁠ ⁠ @danielkasman on REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND, playing today @ifccenter: mubi.com/notebook/posts…

"It’s different from family, because with family there is love and respect, but sometimes not trust." Claire Denis sits down with @danielkasman to talk theater, costumes, and working in Africa again in her latest film THE FENCE. mubi.com/en/notebook/po…

I spoke with the one-and-only Claire Denis about her latest film, THE FENCE, a deeply personal project for the director. The film plays @TheNYFF twice this week. Read the conversation @mubinotebook. mubi.com/en/notebook/po…

"This snapshot is intended to gather emblematic examples of the range that TIFF embodies at its best: trenchant documentaries, auteur visions and artist films, transcendent genre movies, strong new work by major directors, and debuts that point to cinema’s future. Put like this, it all seems so simple, yet the dilution and distractions across the program fail to ensure such an experience for most audiences..." @danielkasman from #TIFF50: mubi.com/notebook/posts…
