'The Two Faces of January'

‘The Two Faces of January’

The lineups are coming hard and fast now from the Berlin International Film Festival, whose 64th edition runs from February 6 through 16. Yesterday, it was the Forum; the day before, the Competition. See all the announcements here. Today: the Berlinale Special, featuring high profile titles screening around the city—including, for the first time, the newly renovated Zoo Palast, the grand movie palace that, back in the day, hosted premieres of Fritz Lang‘s Metropolis (1927) and many other landmark works.
