Paolo Sorrentino’s Youth was the big winner at this year’s 28th European Film Awards on Saturday night in Berlin, taking home the top honour for European Film 2015 as well as the awards for European Director and European Actor.
These awards came only two years after Sorrentino’s previous film The Great Beauty bagged the same clutch of awards (plus Best European Editor) at the corresponding event.
Michael Caine was visibly moved when he came on stage to accept the European Actor trophy for his portrayal of an elderly composer and conductor. “It’s been 50 years and I’ve never won an award in Europe, and I’ve now won two in one evening,” the veteran actor quipped.

[Our thanks to Serdar Kökçeoğlu for the following review.]
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was the founder of the Turkish Republic and as such, continues to be a delicate subject for the Turkish government and the wider society. The tales of Atatürk's life and struggles have always been presented in some form of legendary tale. This is the reason why, up to this day, certain aspects of his life remain still a mystery. Historians and artists who have been taught about Atatürk at school are taking great risks when referring to him in daily life situations, because his strong vision for a modern society made him being widely remembered as a hero. And though Mustafa Kemal's lifelong legacy was to create a well-structured republican culture, we should still be able to observe him from other angles.
When Can Dündar's cinematographic documentary 'Mustafa' hit the box office in 2008, it was a very bold attempt compared to his previous TV documentaries about Atatürk.
