The 65th Berlin International Film Festival will open on February
5 with the world premiere of
Nobody Wants the Night, the most recent
work by Spanish director Isabel Coixet. It will participate in the international
competition.
The Spanish-French-Bulgarian co-production takes place in
1908,
in the Arctic
seclusion of Greenland. The adventure film focuses on courageous women and
ambitious men who put anything at stake for love and
glory.
The ensemble cast includes international stars such as French
actress and Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche (
Camille Claudel
1915,
The English Patient), Japanese actress Rinko Kikuchi
(
Babel,
The Brothers Bloom) and Irish film artist Gabriel
Byrne (
The Usual Suspects,
Miller's Crossing). Filming took
place in Bulgaria, Norway and Spain.
“I'm very pleased that
Nobody Wants the Night will open
the 2015 Berlinale. Isabel Coixet has created an impressive and perceptive
portrait of two women in extreme circumstances,” says Dieter Kosslick, director
of the Berlinale. “It will also be the first film to be screened in Dolby Atmos®
in our Berlinale Palast.”
Six films by Isabel Coixet have already been presented in various
sections of past Berlinale programmes, including
My Life Without Me
(2003) and
Elegy (2008) in Competition. In 2009 Isabel Coixet was
member of the festival’s International Jury.
