Berlinale 2013: Romanian Film CHILD'S POSE Takes Top Festival Prize

Berlinale 2013 Jury president Wong Kar-wai and jurors Susanne Bier, Ellen Kuras, Tim Robbins, Athina Rachel Tsangari, Shirin Neshat and Andreas Dresen have awarded the Romanian drama Child's Pose with the Golden Bear for best film. The film is an engrossing, well-acted and solid overall realist portrait of one bourgeoise woman's crusade to get her son's name cleared for accidentally hitting and killing a child while driving recklessly. There's little to fault about it, but personally, I thought that Gloria and Camille Claudel 1915 both aimed a little higher and succeeded even more admirably.

But besides the jury awards, there are several dozen additional special mentions and prizes doled out by audiences and independent juries. Take a look at all of them below, and feel free to refer back to our in-depth coverage of last year's awards if you want to find out which organization is which and what each prize actually means.
