West (2013)
A woman escapes East Germany with her child.
Starring Jordis Triebel, Tristan Gobel and Alexander Scheer.
Written by Heide Schwochow (screenplay) and Julia Franck (Novel).
Directed by Christian Schwochow.
I seem to be on a bit of a run of late for watching foreign subtitled films.
This German movie is left of centre, quirky and quite well acted. It's also a good insight into how things were on either side of the Berlin wall post war. It just about kept my interest although it lacks a little excitement. There's not a lot of suspense and it didn't exactly have me on the edge of my seat.
It's interesting but easily forgettable. Not exactly a yawn fest but lacked any real entertainment value.
7/10
