Caesar Must Die won the Golden Bear at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival in February 2012 where British director Mike Leigh led the judging panel. The Hollywood Reporter described the outcome as a major upset. Der Spiegel said it was a very conservative selection. Der Tagesspiegel criticised the outcome, saying that the jury shunned almost all the contemporary films that were admired or hotly debated at an otherwise pretty remarkable festival. The film was also selected as the Italian entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards, but it did not make the final shortlist.Critics praised the use of actual prisoners in the film, saying it brought a higher intensity to the piece. Filmed largely in blackandwhite, it has been described as a deeply humanist film that blends gentle humour with an emotional punch. Paolo Taviani said that he hoped moviegoers would say to themselves or even those around them... that even a prisoner with a dreadful sentence, even a life sentence, is and remains a human being. Vittorio Taviani read out the names of the cast. ........
