《爱，不爱》由韩国新生代导演李润基执导，当红韩星玄彬、林秀晶主演，讲述一个有了外遇即将离家的女人和她一直细心照顾的男人，结婚五年面对即将到来的离别，两个人内心纠结无法割舍的爱情故事。《爱，不爱》将参与金熊奖的角逐，另外一部亚洲电影——伊朗导演阿斯哈·法哈蒂的新作《Jodaeiye Nader az Simin》也将角逐金熊大奖。《孤儿》导演佐米·希尔拉执导的惊悚片《未知》由好莱坞影星连姆·尼森与黛安·克鲁格主演，讲述的是一个医生在遭遇车祸醒来后，发现妻子在与一个假扮他的男人一起生活的故事。影片会在今年2月登陆北美院线，不参加柏林电影节的奖项评选。
此次入选竞赛单元的22部电影中还有一部动画电影，法国动画导演米休·欧斯洛的新作《夜的神话》（Tales Of The Night）将和15部真人电影展开金熊奖的争夺。此外，本届柏林电影节还将特设一个展映单元，在2月11日（伊斯兰革命胜利32周年纪念日）放映伊朗导演贾法·帕纳西的旧作《越位》，以此来声援这位目前在伊朗国内身陷囹圄的“政治犯”导演。《越位》曾在2006年的柏林电影节上斩获评审团大奖。
记者问主席：“你想对今年的中国电影说些什么呢？”这位对中国电影有深厚感情的电影人很乐观：“当然我们今年有中国的影片，比如老朋友陈凯歌执导的《赵氏孤儿》，还有张艺谋执导的《山楂树之恋》。我非常喜欢中国的电影，我答应你们明年一定会有更多的中国电影。”作者: clark 时间: 2011-2-11 15:55
