Black Coal, Thin Ice Wins Golden Bear at Berlinale
Share

Chinese film Black Coal, Thin Ice won the Golden Bear, the top jury prize awarded to the best film, in the 64th Berlin International Film Festival on Saturday.

Chinese director Diao Yinan's noirish thriller begins with a grisly discovery of several corpses in 1999. Five years later, another series of mysterious murders occurs. Detective Zhang discovers that all the victims were connected to Wu Zhizhen, a young woman who works at dry cleaners, but he finds himself falling in love with her. On one cold winter's day, he makes a horrific discovery.

In this film, Diao combines the wry humor of his debut film Uniform with the bleakness and pessimism of his 2007 Night Train.

Chinese Actor Liao Fan, for the role of Zhang Zili in film Black Coal, Thin Ice, won the Silver Bear for Best Actor.

Black Coal, Thin Ice, one of the 20 films competing Gold Bear, saw its world premium in the 64th Berlinale. The director graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in 1992 and has directed two films of his own, 2003's Uniform and 2007's Night Train, which premiered at the Cannes.
