Fatih Akin Sighting at Salle du Soixantième for Chicuarotes Premiere

By LINDSAY R. BELLINGER

I had the pleasure of chatting with Fatih Akin for a moment after the glorious world premiere of Gael García Bernal's film Chicuarotes, which screened in the Un Certain Regard section. 

Although I wasn't fortunate enough to snag an interview with Akin at Berlinale 2019 to discuss his film Der Goldenen Handschuhe (The Golden Glove) I did let him know that I didn't understand why the reactions at Berlinale were so shocked or offended by his film. I did find his film intense and violent but not to the degree that many journalists claimed it was, which surprised him as well. Akin even received a shout out before the screening began and received a warm applause from the audience.
