Right at the beginning of my time as director in 2002 we showed the twisted drama "Adaptation" by Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman with the beautiful German title "Der Orchideen-Dieb" with Meryl Streep and "The Hours", the stories of three women, played by Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore and Meryl Streep.

Director Stephen Daldry lay down lengthways on the floor of the Berlinale Palast stage with his three Silver Bears, which the film was awarded. And then the farewell film by Robert Altman, "Last Radio Show", a musical comedy with many Hollywood stars: Woody Harrelson, Lindsay Lohan, Kevin Kline and Meryl Streep. Streep had not yet played a role: "Jury President". She took the job in 2016. General amazement. How did I do it?
