Rating: 3/4 -- A story that is not often heard, and Faerberboeck treats it honorably with this restrained and respectful film. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- An honourable effort to illustrate a period in post-war German history that remained conveniently shrouded for years.
London Evening Standard
Feb 16, 2010
Rating: 2.5/4 -- It's a rigorous adaptation, handsomely mounted and with fine performances, but totally impersonal. Full Review

The suffering of these Berlin women, however tragic, is decontextualized from the infinitely greater crimes against humanity's millions by Germany at the time, which in fact was responsible for their fate. Full Review

Product Description:

AIMEE & JAGUAR’s Max Faerberboeck directs this gripping drama set in the days after Russia’s invasion of Berlin in 1945. Anonyma (Nina Hoss, YELLA) is surrounded by women, children, and men too weak or old to fight in the war, and there is no one to defend her from the ravenous appetites of the invading army. After she and many of the women around her are raped, Anonyma picks Russian soldier Andrej (Evgeny Sidikhin) to be her protector, and they come to a compromise: if she has sex with him, he will keep her from his fellow men. Anonyma and Andrej embark on a strange relationship, and despite the appearance of affection, there is never any doubt of their positions in the world and the war. Based on an international bestseller, A WOMAN IN BERLIN also stars Irm Hermann, Rudiger Vogler, and Juliane Koehler.
