Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics. If you loved An Officer and a Gentleman, start here.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.

Scenes from an East German marriage. A young couple, Sonya and Jens, are very much in love; they get married and have a child. When Sonya wants to go back to work after her maternity leave, they clash for the first time; Jens insists that she remain a full-time wife and mother. Until Death Do Us Part turns an actual police report into a gripping drama, as the director explores the depths of his characters' emotions, driving the conflict to a catastrophic climax.
