This film was a surprise a German comedy drama with political overtones that was good. In fact it was better than good. It was brilliant.
The film begins sort of like a diary jumping threw time and explaining the back story and successfully capturing what life was like living in Communist ran East Germany. Then it successfully captures the madness and excitement of the events shortly after the fall of the Berlin wall.
But all the films best moments are as a young man tries to recreate Soviet Germany of yester-year for his dying mother who is unaware that the Berlin Wall as come down.
Funny and touching.
PS look out for quite a few Kubrick references.
