2009 Santa Barbara Film Festival: Jan. 22-Feb. 1, 2009

 

Nina Hoss in A Woman in Berlin
In Max Färberböck’s A Woman in Berlin, a nameless woman (Nina Hoss) tries to survive in Berlin in the aftermath of the Soviet occupation of that city. Written by Färberböck and Catharina Schuchmann, A Woman in Berlin is based on a (anonymous) journalist’s diary first published in Switzerland in 1959, in which the author discussed the mass rapes of German women perpetrated by Soviet forces. Färberböck is no stranger to the plight of women during World War II, as can be attested by his 1999 romantic drama Aimée & Jaguar.

    A Woman in Berlin sounds like a must-see. Will it be released in the US?
