star liam neeson took center stage a few days ago in an interview promoting his new revenge thriller called pursuit me nice and confessed that he once set out to kill a black man after a friend told him that she was raped and said her attacker was black these remarks triggered by it spread condemnation with many calling the actor racist and today at a bear the president called pursuit director at a mall and an actor stellan scars guard came to nissan's defense it was. very honest and it's a very decent. grounded man. he's not a racist. i think most people more people should read the articles. or buttered people under their words instead of listening to all of the twitter rocks around it find it frightening to live in a world where you even get punished for what you think but most of all you get

punished for what people think you think carlos said now to the barely now low red carpets where i mean as if is what enough to be spending a saturday night there for us look first of all these comments very controversial from me a nice and they're not going away i mean how big of a deal are they here at the bear the knowledge. right carl if you notice he did not only defend liam neeson he also defended his comments and that's certainly not a way to quell any controversy not here in berlin not in the u.s. where just this week a opening of cold pursuit also by mall and opening had to be canceled because of that that's not going to happen here at the bell the knowledge it seems a european audiences more open to the idea that an artist in his work can be separated and don't forget that it's not even the artist in question who is involved in this film and as a director it was not working with liam neeson on this film that opened here so it

seems like the controversy has is remaining isolated at that time for the time being but ironically the slogan of this year's banal is the personal is political and that's just an invitation for controversy now the controversy not going away now the director. directed film called pursuit but as you mentioned he's not here for that he's ember lends a promote a different film tell us about that one that's right out stealing horses if you wanted to distract from the controversy this might be the film it's a vast sweeping beautiful film showing the wilderness of norway it depicts an older man played by stella scotchgard who plays an older man who goes out to the middle of the norwegian woods as a sort of retreat from his past from his memories but he learns pretty quickly that he can't escape his memories they come back to him in dreams nightmares and also coincidental encounters and we're treated to some flashbacks to a summer

a very traumatic summer that he spent with his father as a child and we see this continually coming back to him and we piece together is his life through those flashbacks but yes a very beautiful film and let's talk about another director german director here. he is returning to the ballet now like his new film what to do you think about the golden glow. well the golden glove is an objective we discussed in film that's not even my personal opinion that is the subject of the film the just the repulsiveness of humanity that follows the story of a serial killer who's preying on older women lot of alcoholic women in the one nine hundred seventy s. in hamburg based on a true story now this is a time in german history when the rest of germany was experiencing an economic miracle and we see characters we follow characters who slip through the cracks we see how he can prey on these people he can kill these women and get away with it

simply because the mill you that the it is so filthy no one really notices except for the smell. that it that no spoilers here i would say that i. did a really great job crew transforming himself into the character of this serial killer but for me it was a little bit too violent the film i had no spoilers there thank you very much i. barely know the red carpet. thank you karl veterinarians in the u.s. town of cali spell have saved a cat that was frozen stiff in a snow bank fluffy the cat was delivered to the animal clinic already unconscious with clumps of snow and ice sticking to its fur as you can see the house was so cold that staff could not measure its body temperature but fluffy was revived with generous towel rubbing cage warmers and intravenous fluids. and reminder of the top story that we're following for you right now in lagos tens
