Now the Berlinale has really picked up speed - the competition began on Friday and the other sections have also shown their first films. And Timothée rocked the festival.
Thimothée Chalamet presented his film A complete Unknown and brought glamour to the red carpet. Despite the slush and uncomfortable cold, the fans persevered on Potsdamer Platz to catch a glimpse of the star or even take a selfie together.
And Thimothée Chalamet took plenty of time for his fans. He had obviously decided to adapt to the casual Berlin streetwear look. He wore a yellow and black striped hoodie with a tiger duck look to the press conference and then posed on the red carpet in a soft pink jogging suit with a pink T-shirt to match Valentine's Day.
A complete Unknown
Thimothée Chalamet can hope to win an Oscar for his role as Bob Dylan. Although he slips into his skin, he is still recognisable as himself and conjures up a coherent image of Dylan on the screen with great acting skill, while leaving him his secrets. Bob Dylan remains A complete Unknown.
Director James Mangold tells the story of how Bob Dylan comes to New York and rises to stardom in the folk scene there. However, his fame threatens to destroy him until he reinvents himself and his music - to the chagrin of his fans, who see the change in style as a betrayal. The film is conventionally designed, unlike I'm not there by Todd Haynes, this year's jury president. And yet he manages to create not only a portrait of the artist as a young man, but also a panorama of that time of awakening and change in art and society.
Competition: Hot Milk
Hot Milk is one of those entries that makes you wonder what actually qualifies it for the competition. The story is too predictable and lacking in suspense to really captivate.
Young Sofia lives with her mother, who is in a wheelchair and tormented by pain. She has postponed her studies and cares for her mother, with whom she shares an agonising love-hate relationship. Together they have moved south to find help in an exclusive clinic.
While Sofia and her mother become entangled in dark family secrets, Sofia meets the Swedish woman on the beach, who rides along the water like an Amazon. But she too is tormented by her past ...
Outlook for Saturday
With Robert Pattinson, the next superstar is coming to Berlin on Saturday. He is bringing what is probably the most anticipated film with him: Mickey 17, the first film by Bong Joon-ho after his masterpiece Parasite.
