A WOMAN IN BERLIN
A WOMAN IN BERLIN, now playing at the Angelika in New York and set for October 2nd in Dallas, Plano and Houston, was recently featured on NPR as “…bringing new attention to an issue long considered a taboo in German society…” . A New York Times Critics’ Pick, A WOMAN IN BERLIN stars Award Winner Nina Hoss (YELLA) in this account of life in 1945 during the Red Army invasion of Berlin, based on the formerly anonymous writings of journalist and photographer Marta Hillers.
As detailed in NPR’s piece, the film, in conjunction with a university study on German rape victims, gives a long belated voice to the 2 million women who’ve held their silence for over 50 years. A timely examination of sexual violence and war, A WOMAN IN BERLIN is a “…sprawling, difficult, powerful film” (New York Times).

I have been to London numerous of times but only been to Berlin once. I like Berlin alot more then I do London. It’s cheaper, cleaner, nicer and it has more sights to visit. Love Madame Tussauds both in London and Berlin.
