Omar Sy-Starring ‘The Strangers’ Case,’ Kurosawa Kiyoshi’s ‘Chime’ Added to Berlinale Special Section


Two mid-length Japanese films and the Omar Sy-starring ‘The Stranger’s Case’ round out the Berlinale Special section lineup.

“Chime,” a mid-length movie by leading Japanese director Kurosawa Kiyoshi, is among three late additions to the Berlin Film Festival’s Berlinale Special section. “Both Japanese films – one by a renowned master, the other by a young filmmaker – are great examples of the art of shaping riveting stories in a shorter length,” the festival said in notes provided. Previously announced titles in the section include: Atom Egoyan’s “Seven Veils”; David and Nathan Zellner’s “Sasquatch Sunset,” with Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg; documentary, “Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger”; “Love Lies Bleeding,” starring Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian, Ed Harris, Dave Franco and Jena Malone; German sports documentary “Eleven Tomorrows: Berlinale Meets Football”; and violent Korean action film “The Roundup: Punishment.”
