Goodbye Lenin, with gritty reality
22 April 2004
Warning: Spoilers
Having seen this film at the Hong Kong International Film Fest, I can echo the comments of other users here. The film is a beautifully observed portrait of relationships between 3 totally different generations of women and the impoverished state of the present day Trblisi, Georgia where they live.

NOT A SPOILER

A lasting memory of the film for me is the touching way in which towards the end the grandmother saves face for both the mother and granddaughter. Showing that although she may seem dotty, she is in fact sharper than the other 2 women put together.

A truly honest film, well worth seeing.

Rating 8.5/10
