Heimat: A Chronicle of Germany
Interesting but disappointing
The series is ok but I was disappointed because my expectations had been very high. I found the acting to be quite wooden at times and some of the frequent close up shots to be quite irritating. I still haven't properly worked out a good reason why the film alternates between colour and monochrome.
However, Heimat is historically interesting due to its depiction of village family life.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
What a saint!
The main character, Forest Gump.....er sorry.....Mr Rogers... is just too good to be true. Quite sacharine and sentimental for a lot of the time, but does contain a few pearls of wisdom. I was disappointed by the film.

Good drama
Very good film, set in GDR before re- unification of Germany. It's bleak and has some nice plot twists.
