Italian docudrama Caesar Must Die (Cesare Deve Morire) has won the Golden Bear at the 62nd Berlin Film Festival.
The film, directed by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, follows the inmates of Italy's Rebibbia prison as they stage a production of Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar.
Accepting the word, veteran director Vittorio said: "I hope that someone, going home, after seeing 'Cesar Must Die' will think that even an inmate, on whose head is a terrible punishment, is, and remains, a man. And this thanks to the sublime words of Shakespeare,"
