Goodbye Lenin! 5 stars

My first German film with subtitles. It was fab, not hard to follow at all. The characters and story of a Family from the former DDR in Berlin was a great way to look back at these moments in history where everything changes. One minute I was laughing at the son reproducing the East German food by steaming off lables and raiding deserted houses for abandoned food, then crying when he meets his Dad for the first time since early child hood. A really good film.
