Actress Paula Beer has become known with such films as “Frantz”, “Transit” and the television series “Bad Banks.” Now the 25-year-old has received an international award for her role in the love drama “Undine.”
German actress Paula Beer won the European Film Award for best actress. This was announced by the Berlin European Film Academy. The 25-year-old was honored for her role in the love drama “Undine.”
In director Christian Petzold’s film, Beer plays a historian who falls in love with an industrial diver (Franz Rogowski). With history, an old myth of mermaids from romanticism is transferred to Berlin today.
“This is really cool”
Beer is known for the television series “Bad Banks”, the feature film “Frantz” by François Ozon and the film adaptation of “Transit”, also by Petzold. She has already won the Silver Bear at the Berlinale for her role as the mysterious Undine.
That night beer could be seen on a video slot, this time the prizes were handed out online. At first there were problems with the transmission, then he was happy and thanked: “This is really great.”
“Der Rausch” is the best movie
The tragic comedy “Der Rausch” was awarded best picture. Danish director Thomas Vinterberg’s film won a total of four awards at the European Film Awards. In addition to the script and direction, actor Mads Mikkelsen was also honored. He plays a teacher who tries an experiment with other men: they want to get drunk all the time to test the possibilities of alcohol.
The European Film Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in the industry. The more than 3,800 members of the film academy vote for many award winners, similar to the Oscars in America. This time, the awards were handed out several nights in a row. The awards ceremony, which was actually planned in Iceland, had been canceled due to the pandemic, but this time the awards were handed out on a digital switch from Berlin.
