Barbara

This is an excellent film! I loved the acting, directing, writing and especially the cinematography. Barbara reminded me of the foreign films that they used to make during the 70s and 80s. In other words, this is not a political film like The Prophet or No. This is a character-driven film.

Well acted film showing what life was like in the oppressive society of communist East Germany. Much of the film is without dialogue and it helps if you know omething of the incessant surveillance under this regime. Nina Hoss is superb and beautiful and the entire cast is brilliant. See this film!
