Good Bye Lenin!
Yes, my last movie for the moment - I'll promise I'll get back to writing something else soon. This German flick took home European Film Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. It's a comedy that's only occasionally funny, but it works better as a drama. My Grade: B-
Move Info
Synopsis: When his mother, a steadfast Communist, has a heart attack and falls into a coma while watching him being arrested during a protest in Berlin in 1989, a young East German man becomes concerned that when she wakes up, the excitement of the fall of the Berlin Wall may be too much for her. So eight months later, as she is returning home from the hospital, he sets about recreating the era of Communist era East Germany in the area around her apartment, but with everyone being so caught up in their new-found democracy, the illusion of depressing Iron Curtain malaise is difficult to maintain.
Director: Wolfgang Becker
Writers: Wolfgang Becker and Bernd Lichtenberg
Stars: Daniel Bruhl (Deeply), Katrin Sass, Chulpan Khamatova, Maria Simon (Luther), Florian Lukas
