Review of Good Bye, Lenin! (2003) by Christian S — 02 Sep 2008
In East Germany in 1989, Alex Kerner's (Daniel Bruhl) mother Christiane (Katrin Sass) falls into a coma just as the Berlin Wall is about to come down. Eight months later, she wakes up, but her heart is too weak to withstand any great shock. So Alex goes to great (and often hysterical) lengths to keep the truth about her country's reform a secret. This widely praised, Golden Globe-nominated comedy played in festivals around the world.
One of the best german movies since "The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum". Great acting!
