Last night I saw "Good Bye Lenin!" on TV. A German film by Wolfgang Becker (IMDb.com rating 7.8/10) that was released in 2003. See Wikipedia article on Good Bye, Lenin!

I liked it a lot and I think it's a good example of European cinema - so much different from Hollywood, and so much better.

On one hand the film can be seen as a part of ostalgie phenomenon and it certainly brings backs memories from the old days. I also lived long, dreadful years under the communist regime. But for me the real value of the film is that it is about feelings and that it speaks to your heart.
