Dieter Kosslick, the new director of the Berlin Film Festival, is receiving high marks today (Thursday) for bringing a new-found sense of excitement to the current "Berlinale," which opened Wednesday night. In the words of Michael Althen, a critic for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, "On his first time out, he can afford to rely on his qualities as an entertainer and reach for the stars." The opening-night film, Tom Tykwer's Heaven, is also receiving resounding praise from critics, despite the fact that it deals sympathetically with a woman who plants a bomb in a high-rise apartment, killing four innocent people. (Her target is a drug dealer.)
