Review of Coming Out (2001) by David V — 11 May 2012
If you ignore the gay scenes, and if you really ignore the gay scenes, this film gives the greatest portrayal out of any GDR film I have seen that really shows what East Berlin truly looked and felt like.
Not to mention this film was made only months before the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the opening scene, the main character rides a bicycle through the streets, and you get to see what East Berlin actually looked like, instead of what state propaganda films showed.
Completely fascinating. If you ignore the gay scenes, that is.
