59th Karlovy Vary Film Festival Winners – Miro Remo’s ‘Better Go Mad in the Wild’ Takes Grand Prix
Better Go Mad in the Wild by Miro Remo The 59th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival wrapped with the award ceremony, where Better Go Mad in the Wild directed by Miro Remo won the Grand Prix – Crystal Globe. The jury in a statement said, “A funny valentine to the fading art of being true to yourself, Miro Remo’s delightfully inventive documentary is a portrait of bickering twin brothers who may live a weird, off-grid life on their dilapidated farm but who, in a world as mad as ours, actually might be the sanest people on earth. In the lifestyle it portrays but also in the filmmaking risks it takes and the raucously loving brotherhood it admires, Better Go Mad in the Wild feels like a gulp of fresh, woody www.kviff.com air, or a quick dip in an outdoor pond, or a moment of contemplation as a cow chews on your beard. In short, it feels like being free.”
