Congrats to the Taviani Bros. ( who? ), the inveterate sibling filmmakers whose Shakespeare-in-prison semi-doc Caesar Must Die has claimed the top prize at this year’s Berlinale. Stephanie Zacharek has more about the Golden Bear winner in her review from Berlin — along with more about Barbara , whose own helmer, Christian Petzold, won the festival’s Best Director award. ( Tabu and Sister nabbed hardware as well.) As Stephanie predicted, Caesar Must Die secured U.S. distribution in this week in Berlin and will be Stateside later this year; stay tuned to Movieline for details about how and when you can see it, and read on for the complete list of winners. Congrats to all!
