Director: Wolfgang Becker, colour, 120 Min., 2003
We are happy to invite you to the next installment of the ArtHouse Cinema program on Tuesday, July 25, 2017. This time we will screen the film called
Good Bye, Lenin! directed by
Wolfgang Becker.
Berlin (East) in autumn 1989: Alex Kerner's mother is in a coma after a heart attack and misses the fall of the Berlin Wall. She awakes in summer 1990. Her doctor declares that excitement of any kind could be fatal. Alex must conceal the fall of the SED regime from her. He and his friends pretend to the sick woman that the GDR still exists; the illusion remains perfect until one day the truth can no longer be concealed. The clever comedy was the most successful film of the year in 2003.
