Goodbye Lenin

Germany   Daniel Bruhl

Comedy set during and after the transition from the GDR to unified Germany.

Political humor which was topical when made but hasn't aged well. The scenario is based on an elaborate deception which created a sense of strain and artificiality and kept me from going along with it. I kept wanting to like it more than I actually did and finally gave up. Had I seen this 20 years ago I would have enjoyed it more.
