Arriving in the same few months as Son of Saul comes the first feature film of Giulio Ricciarelli. Set in West Germany during 1958, just…
Life on the Eastern side of the Berlin Wall, under the ever watchful eye of the Statsi, has proved to be a rich source of material for modern German filmmakers. Films such as Good Bye Lenin!, The Lives of Others, and the recently released Barbara have been successful with both German and international audiences in their respective takes on this era.
Very minimalistic and understated, Barbara is definitely a slow burn with a somewhat predictable ending, but is well worth the wait.
