outrate.net - 6/10 by John A. Nesbithistorical context is its great claim to fame
User Review - 10/10 by Private UI saw this movie in a film class about the cold war, and along with Dr. Strangelove, this film really stuck out for me. It's about a young teacher in East Germany struggling with his homosexuality. It was really emotional and personal, something I think many people would relate to and enjoy. It made me cry.
User Review - 10/10 by Emiliano RGay Berlin! Significant of the East West divide in Germany. Just what the title says a man's coming out.
User Review - 10/10 by Carlos MExcellent German Film on the gay life on East Germany in 1989.
User Review - 8/10 by Ilona DTwenty years on, and I stumble upon this film on Youtube, where someone has posted it in its entirety. What a serendipitous find! Heiner Carow (of â??The Legend of Paul and Paulaâ?? [1973] fame), was a director well-known for putting off the East German authorities with his realistic, sincere portrayals of everyday life in a socialist country. Through the decades of his career he put Flower Power, rock music, and the transformative power of romantic love (even in the face of grim, drab reality) on the big screens of the GDR, giving those themes the attention and legitimacy they were essentially denied by the state. In 1989, his subject is homosexuality: in the first and only East German film to openly deal with the issue, â??Coming Outâ?? portrays a young man torn between the woman carrying his child and the man with whom he has fallen in love. Philipp (Matthias Freihof), a young high school teacher, meets a colleague, Tanja (Dagmar Manzel), a shy girl who falls hard for him, and before you know it, they are living together and sheâ??s nibbling on pickled cucumbers straight from the jar, dreamily contemplating his naked physique while he sleeps. He genuinely cares for her, but then he meets a boy who also falls hard for him, and soon has to grapple with his conflicting desires and repressions, and come to terms with who he really is. Itâ??s a passionate and moving story, honestly told, and Carow avoids any sensationalism or melodrama. In his commitment to authenticity, the gay locales he chose were real gay hangouts, clubs, and bars, and much of the background action is genuine, not staged. Many of the film's supporting characters are actual members of the underground gay cabaret scene of East Berlin, essentially playing themselves. Ultimately, this film is a film about love and honesty, and a powerful plea for tolerance, not only for the gay community, but for all minorities in East Germany at the time. It also offers a rare glimpse of the realities of life in East Berlin just before the fall of the Wall in November 1989 (when it was released). If you enjoyed â??The Lives of Others,â?? where the era was artificially recreated, check out this film to see what it really looked like.
User Review - 8/10 by Amar BI love this one more for its historical value, being the only DDR openly gay movie (it premiered on 9 November 1989). Features authentic locations and offers a peak into the gay life of East Berlin.
User Review - 8/10 by Iris PAs others have mentioned, this film is historically important. I loved the opportunity to glimpse life within the GDR in general. It was also illuminating to gain a bit of insight into the perceptions of the GDR filmmakers regarding the challenges of being gay in communist Germany. I would not recommend this film for entertainment purposes...
User Review - 6/10 by David VIf you ignore the gay scenes, and if you really ignore the gay scenes, this film gives the greatest portrayal out of any GDR film I have seen that really shows what East Berlin truly looked and felt like. Not to mention this film was made only months before the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the opening scene, the main character rides a bicycle through the streets, and you get to see what East Berlin actually looked like, instead of what state propaganda films showed. Completely fascinating. If you ignore the gay scenes, that is.
User Review - 6/10 by Christopher SMy first and only foray into real East German cinema. Based on those who knew the DDR, it seems to be quite authentic. Not a tremendous film, but a decent one, with some touching moments.
User Review - 6/10 by darryl cPremier film est-allemand sur le sujet, tourné juste avant la chute du Mur. Historiquement important et joliment timide .
