Who'll love it
Great for anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The movie tells a true story in the life of well-known German actor Manfred Krug. Living in the German Democratic Republic he is forced to leave the country after protesting against the expatriation of singer/songwriter Wolf Biermann in 1976.
