FIPRESCI JURYJohannes Bensmann-Wolters, Grégory Cavinato, Francis Gavelle

A word from the jury:

"Remarkable!

We poor film critics not only have to be very articulate when praising or condemning a film, but we have also to be very creative and come up with witty, clever texts each week for the cinema loving audience.

So we can really relate to the heroine in the film we chose as our winner. And it's with great pride we say: we all loved Miss Remarkable and her career!"
