Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe source novel was virtually banned in West Germany when it was first published in the late 1950s. When it was republished in 2003, it became a huge bestseller and nationwide sensation in a reunified Germany.
- GoofsWhen Germany's surrender is announced, the Soviet troops start singing the "Alexandrov version" of their national anthem, adopted about a year earlier. That version had no lyrics until Stalin intervened, and the heavy fighting wouldn't have allowed the soldiers to learn them. They most likely sang the chorus of "The Internationale," an earlier, better-known version.

Featured review
Anonyma - Eine Frau in Berlin – A Woman in Berlin - CATCH IT (B+) A Woman in Berlin (German: Eine Frau in Berlin) is an autobiographical account of the period from 20 April to 22 June 1945 in Berlin (Battle of Berlin). At the author's request, the work was published anonymously for her protection. The book purports to detail the writer's experiences as a rape victim during the Red Army occupation of the city. Two years after her death in 2003 the anonymous author was identified in the Süddeutsche Zeitung by Jens Bisky (a German literary editor) as Marta Hillers. (Wiki) The controversial German movie is about the women who survived the war by working as captivate prostitutes for the Russians. Just like every war all the men were killed and women were tortured and captured by the occupiers. The starting of the movie is really nice as how it shows how people have to go through and live through once Russians won over Germany. The women whose husbands were Nazi were bound to be raped and tortured by the occupiers. The performances by all the German actor and actresses and especially Nina Hoss, August Diehl & Evgeniy Sidikhin are admirable. Because the performances in these hard hitting movies makes you believe the situation. The beginning of the movie really good but the movie falls when they start showing the romance between German woman and the Red Army commander, it slowed down the phase. On the whole, A woman in Berlin is a really nice movie about the aftermaths of the War.
