Think I must have been in audience at a different Berlinale screening.

Congratulations! See a interview with Alma Har\’el at the Berlinale 2011, where the film was the darling of the audience. http://vimeo.com/22919965

Saw this at Tribeca and boy is Bombay Beach spun & hyped. Pretty much no story and obviously set up actually framed with a handful or choreographed dance sequences. The shallow DSLR is striking inplaces but shame the camera operator was not able to keep all of the film sharp as large chunks of film are out of focus (not another out of focus shot of the back of a mans head on a trike or add some music and it’s art!). Held together with lots of interview over images and much of it does not even take place at Bombay beach (lots of cards saying 300 miles, 250 miles from etc). Strip away the plastered Dylan/Beirut sound track and there is not really much of a film there. Take away the hype & very much Emporers New Clothes with this one.
