Eyes in the movie world turn to Berlin as its annual film showcase opens with a typically exciting roster, including the new release from French director André Téchiné starring Isabelle Huppert and Hafsia Herzi. Film critic Lisa Nesselson also tells us about a suitably surreal take on the master painter himself: “Daaaaaali!” is Quentin Dupieux’s interpretation of the artist’s unique persona. Meanwhile, Bertrand Bonello’s latest film “The Beast” blends sci-fi and romance in a time-travelling jaunt that takes the central couple, played by Léa Seydoux and George MacKay, through two centuries. And we check out “Bob Marley: One Love”, as the final years of the reggae star’s life are revisited in a new biopic.
