Setting such a personal story in the most monumental of times will always prove difficult to pull off effectively. And although Goodbye, Lenin! triumphs in some regards, it eventually falls flat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], let down by its own vices and failing to deliver on its promise of a unique and heart-warming tale of unconditional love and loving betrayal.
East vs West. Communism vs Capitalism. Left vs Right. Personal vs Political. All are struggles at the heart of Wolfgang Becker's Goodbye, Lenin!, a 2003 film starring Daniel Bruhl and Katrin Sass.
Goodbye Lenin! Synopsis
On her way to a state dinner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Christiane see’s Alex participating in an anti-Wall demonstration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], causing her to suffer a heart attack and enter a coma. After a tumultuous eight months in 1989, Christiane awakes with the doctor telling Alex that any shock could see her suffer a relapse, triggering a series of (mis)adventures as the family attempt to hide the crumbling facade of East Germany from Christiane, as the nation prepares for reunification and celebrates the triumph of West Germany in the 1990 Football World Cup.
A Gentle Tale, But Not Always Successful
Similarly, the contrived nature of the script is highlighted by the consistently ‘poetic’ and ‘ironic’ voice overs supplied by the Alex character. In fact, the ‘clever’ dialogue hits a bum note throughout,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with director and co-writer Wolfgang Becker coming across every bit like a fifty-something man trying to sound young and hip. By way of example, Alex refers to the march against the Berlin Wall as “several hundred people got together for some evening exercise” and noted that his mother “slept through the classical concert in front of West Berlin’s city hall and through the start of a huge and unique recycling campaign”, referring, of course, to the destruction of the Berlin Wall.
Among the reasons for its failure are the rather wide cracks that appear in the plot structure and delivery throughout. For instance, the childhood back story seems to be a veiled attempt to show the utopic East Germany of the siblings’ youth, however the use of an absent father as a narrative device is fairly clumsy and even when he is re-introduced towards the end of the film, his effect on the characters is remarkably minimal.
After her husband flees across the iron curtain into the arms of a West German woman, Christiane Kerner (Sass) is forced to raise two children on her own in communist East Germany, instilling them with a love of socialism and a healthy disrespect for authority. Flash forward ten years to the fortieth anniversary celebration of the DDR and Chistiane’s son, Alex (Bruhl), has abandoned all dreams of being an astronaut and is working in a state-operated television repair shop. Unbeknownst to all, the world is literally about to fall apart around them.
