MILK OF SORROW WINS GOLDEN BEAR
Peruvian film THE MILK OF SORROW has been honoured with the Berlin Film Festival's top prize.
The movie, selected by an international board under this year's (09) president Tilda Swinton, beat off competition from the Woody Harrelson-starring film The Messenger, and My One And Only, with Renee Zellweger, to take home the Golden Bear award for Best Picture on Saturday (14Feb09).
On receiving the award, The Milk Of Sorrow filmmaker Claudia Llosa dedicated the win to her home country.
She said, "This is beautiful... this is such an honour. This is for Peru. This is for our country."
The runner-up Silver Bear was shared by Uruguay's Gigante and German drama Everyone Else.
The Messenger, in which Harrelson plays a military officer who must inform families when they lose soldiers in combat, received the Silver Bear for Best Script for writers Oren Moverman and Alessandro Camon.
