Midway through his second run at the helm of the Berlinale, the combative festival director wasted no time in addressing the political storm that flared up on the opening day and quickly threatened to overshadow the film itself. “We’re kind of a lightning rod for political controversy,” she said in an interview with Variety. “It’s very tedious. It’s really difficult to make sure we get approval from…
