Good Bye, Lenin!
It's 1989. Alex Kerner (Daniel Brühl) and his single mom Christine (Katrin Sass) live in a tiny 79 sq.m. apartment in East Berlin. Shortly before the Berlin Wall falls and East Germany (the "DDR") becomes history, Alex's mother, a dedicated party activist and DDR supporter, has a heart attack and falls into a coma — and misses the triumph of capitalism. Eight months later, her miraculous awakening and recovery present Alex with a dilemma: How to protect his mother's weakened heart from the shock of Coca-Cola, Burger King, Audis and Mercedes.

His efforts to protect her arise partly out of guilt. After all, his mother collapsed after learning he was participating in an anti-DDR demonstration. But he quickly discovers that his plan to protect mom by creating an artificial "DDR" within their small apartment faces huge obstacles. One of them is a huge Coca-Cola banner hanging within sight of their apartment window. (Talk about product placement!) Another is where to find all the old DDR products that quickly vanished soon after the end of the DDR. His efforts to keep all the historical changes from his mother are both funny and poignant. In the process, Alex reinvents history and creates an entirely new version of what happened while his mother was in a coma. One of the funnier tricks Alex uses to do this is a fake TV news broadcast.

I would really like to see this movie, but I haven't had a chance yet, so you'll find reviews from other sources in the links below. German teachers will be glad to know that the producers of GOOD BYE LENIN! have made teaching materials available for this film. Both print and online versions for classroom use are available. (See the links below.) There is also a book with the entire screenplay that will make German teachers happy.
GOOD BYE LENIN! has been sold for release in other countries, including the U.K. and the U.S., but it has not made its way to the U.S. so far. It did well for a foreign film in the UK in the summer of 2003. The film is out on PAL DVD/video in Germany, but there is no subtitled version. It played in German theaters in early 2003. A streaming video trailer is also online (see link below).
Daniel Brühl also appeared in Vaya con Dios (2002), another German comedy. Wolfgang Becker directed another successful German film, DAS LEBEN IST EINE BAUSTELLE (1997). The film music (see the soundtrack CD below) for GOOD BYE, LENIN! is by the French composer Yann Tiersen.
CAST: Daniel Brühl (Alex Kerner), Katrin Sass (mother), Chulpan Khamatova (nurse Lara)
European Film Academy (Best European Film) 2003 (Continued)
Up against very strong competition, GOOD BYE, LENIN! was the big winner—with a total of 6 awards—at the 16th annual European Film Academy (EFA) ceremonies in Berlin on December 8, 2003. The German film garnered prizes for best film, best actor (Daniel Brühl), best screenplay (Bernd Lichtenberg), and three "People's Choice" awards: best actor (Brühl), best actress (co-star Katrin Sass), and best director (Wolfgang Becker). The EFA awards are sometimes called the "European Oscars." German film director Wim Wenders, president of the European Film Academy, commented: "European films are so much better than their reputation in theaters around the world." Some 360 films from 47 countries were considered for the EFA awards. "It's just incredible that more than 300 million people in Europe have picked a German film in the German language, this ugly German language," the film's producer, Stefan Arndt, said in jest.
