Berlin Film Festival 2018: Robert Pattinson doesn’t believe in true love

British actor Robert Pattinson does not believe in true love, he said at the Berlin Film Festival, in contrast to the lovestruck pioneer he portrays in the western comedy period film Damsel that premiered on Friday.

Directed by David and Nathan Zellner, Damsel stars Pattinson as the wealthy Samuel Alabaster who traverses the Wild West in search of his love Penelope, played by Australian actress Mia Wasikowska.

“Do I believe in true, pure love? No. No, I think it’s, yeah, I mean it’s obviously more complicated,” he said at a news conference after the screening.

Damsel is one of 19 films competing for the festival’s Golden Bear award.
