Heimat
A living timeline branching across 64 years of German history commencing with the first world war, this compelling chronicle immerses viewers in the lives and lineage of small-town family the Simons like a steadily unfolding novel. Avoiding the tendency towards a simplified, good vs. evil account of history, Heimat, roughly translated as "homeland," captures the coexistence of ordinary Germans in times of profound atrocities and radical socio-political transformation. The film's confrontational view of Germany's past has prompted introspection from audiences around the world, and the acknowledgement of past crimes against humanity as a shared scar that touches all of human history. Two years in the making, this epic series features 140 speaking roles and 5000 non-professional actors.

Compulsive viewing
Compulsive viewing - getting to bed too late thanks to Heimat! Feeling sad only one disc to go. Hope series 2 is as good.

Hire this if you're looking for an insomnia cure.
I can honestly say that I have never fallen into such a deep sleep as I did 40 minutes into this piece of celuloid wallpaper.

Wanted to like it but couldn't
I'd watched and really enjoyed Heimat 2, despite the tedious relationship between Hermann and Clarissa. I then worked through the inferior Heimat 3 - ... read more »
