Good Bye Lenin
2003
****
Director: Wolfgang Becker
Cast: Daniel Brühl, Katrin Sass, Chulpan Khamatova, Florian Lukas, Maria Simon
A devout socialist mother falls into coma as the Berlin Wall is about to crumble. When she wakes up, her children try to protect her from the new Germany waiting outside. A delightful German comedy that pokes fun at the East and the West, but never forgets the human drama behind the reunification. Funny, thought-provoking and melancholic.
