Question for German film/literature buffs?

Question

I'm doing a project on the separation and reunification of Germany and would like to watch some films, and read some novels, on the subject. Does anyone know of any decent German films or books that would be relevant? Thanks very much.

Answer 1

Try the following films. Some of them are "real" films intended for the cinema, and generally of high quality (like the legendary One, Two, Three); others are "mere" TV movies, where they regularly pair an historic event with a stereotypical love story.

I've tried to put them in a more or less chronological order (in respect to the era described, not the release date).

"Die Luftbrücke - Nur der Himmel war frei"

"One, Two, Three"

"Sonnenallee"

"An die Grenze"

"Das Leben der Anderen"

"Das Wunder von Berlin"

"Nikolaikirche"

"Good Bye Lenin!"

Answer 2

Der Tunnel

Herr Lehmann

Die Frau vom Checkpoint Charlie

Küss mich Genosse
