German Film Series to Commemorate the Twentieth Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall
7pm, Olin-Rice Science Center 150
Film #3 of the series:
Good-Bye Lenin (2003)
A saintly East German Communist believer, falls into a coma just before the Berlin Wall comes down, in 1989. When she awakens, her son, Alex, creates a kind of ersatz reality for her - a living museum of Communism - in which nothing has changed. This social satire was a huge hit in Germany. Beneath the slapstick surface lies a somber point that Communism in Germany was always an ersatz reality - that for forty years Party leaders were creating a large-scale version of the fiction.
