This article surveys three recent German films set in the former East Germany: Das Leben der Anderen (“The Lives of Others”), Good Bye Lenin!, and Sonnenallee. It finds the critical acclaim for Das Leben der Anderen to be warranted, but not the suggestion that it is a brave film. That claim rests on the assumption that the presentation of the German Democratic Republic in post-unification German culture has been overly nostalgic. The paradigm case most commonly cited is Good Bye Lenin!, but this article shows that criticism to be misplaced. The article closes with a discussion of theories of “Ostalgie”. |
