Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 49 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Four directors - four styles - four episodes, all relating the events of a single night which has entered the history books: August 12-13, 1961. There are thousands of complex narratives connected with the frontier drawn through the middle of Berlin, and each episode relates the story of a difficult decision made on that night...
