  • Suvival in post-war Berlin

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Very realistic display of post-war Germany and portrait of people trying to survive no matter how. Showed through thirteen-year-old boy struggle to keep his family together and to survive even with unexpected results. Selling goods from his peado ex-teacher to earn and exploite himself to dangers of nights in Berlin 1945.

  • Important but Wordy

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Cato (705 reviews) from Lydbury North , 26 Aug 2011
    Ignore the comment from Halliwell above, which downgrades most films unless they're feel good offerings. This is an important film, in that it paints a bleakly realistic view of a war torn city and its poor inhabitants, in this case Berlin after the 2nd world war, but any ravaged city which has since been torn to shreds since then could well have been the subject. My only reservation about the film is a technical one. The actors are speaking German but we are hearing Italian speech, over which English subtitles have been laid. It is a very wordy film, in that most of it has talking in it, and I found myself reading most of the time rather than watching the film. I don't normally find trouble with subtitles, but this is quite hard going. Well worth watching though, especially if you speak Italian.
