Berlin Favours The Brits

A lacklustre Berlin film festival ended this Sunday with the main prize unusually being split between two films, Japan's Spirited Away and Britain's Bloody Sunday. 'You must celebrate,' the International jury president Mira Nair told the assembled crowd, 'for the more the merrier.' Berlin marks yet another milestone in a successful few months on the film festival circuit for director Paul Greengrass and his main star James Nesbitt. Bloody Sunday also picked up the World Cinema award at this year's Sundance.
