Radiohead, Madonna, Gorillaz — Berlin Film Festival pt 2

Here's the second report from this year's Berlin Film Festival by our man in the lederhosen, Stephen Dalton... It’s the end of a bitingly cold weekend here in Berlin, where the 2008 Berlinale Film Festival has just closed its doors for another year.
