The provocative Romanian film Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn has won the Golden Bear at the Berlin film festival, capping the truncated 2021 virtual edition of the event.
Before the festival began, considerable attention had been given to Berlin’s decision to make its acting award “gender neutral”.
The festival’s second prize went to Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, a three-part drama by the Japanese auteur Ryusuke Hamaguchi.
Bradshaw described it as an “ingenious, playful, sparklingly acted and thoroughly entertaining portmanteau” in a four-star review.
