(Amos Lassen, 2009-10-20) "A Woman in Berlin" A New German Classic Amos Lassen Max Farberbock's new film is destined to become a classic. It is wowing people in festivals and being hailed as a new German classic. Based on a true story and on a bestseller, it is indeed controversial. The film is set in 1945 when the Red Army invaded Berlin and German women became rape victims. There was devastation and hardship. One woman, Anonyma (Nina Hoss), a former journalist and photographer, is the victim of rape. As she struggles to survive, she looks for an officer that can offer her protection and she meets Andrej (Evgeny Sidikhin) and she develops a complex relationship with him and the two are forced to remain enemies until the very end. Rape was the fate of women during war and it has finally been regarded as a war crime. During World War II, German women had no protection. The film does not offer a right/wrong attitude but allows the audience to consider how war atrocities should be handled. Complex answers surround us when we consider the horrors of war. When the book upon the movie was published in 1959 in Switzerland, Germans were outrages and the author was not allowed to publish any future editions. Fifty years later the material in the book is just as powerful and incendiary as it was back then because it is about unspeakable events. The focus of the film is one a group of neighbors--two sisters, a widow, an elderly bookseller, a liquor dealer, a pair of lesbian partners, a refugee in hiding and an 80 year old and it is a bit difficult to keep track of what is going on at first. This is because of the chaos in Berlin and not the fault of the film. The Russians walk around and brutalize women and Anonyma sleeps with various Russians until she becomes involved with Anatol who comes and goes as he pleases. She goes through other Russian officers. The film takes a hard look at an issue that was repressed and gives us a complex look at a crazy period. It is well acted and directed. We see both decency and depravity and the film is at times brutal and grim and because it does not use sensationalism, it appears to be close to the truth.
