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!
