See this film: Barbara @ the Coolidge
It's 1980 in pre-fall-of-the-Wall East Germany, and the eponymous
character in Christian Petzold's Barbara (2012),
a pediatric surgeon in a backwater hospital, makes plans with her West German
beau to escape to freedom. But then there's Horst, the appealing head of her
department - is he wooing her or spying on her, or both? Top-notch suspense and
melodrama from one of Germany's
best directors. The Goethe-Institut presents it at the Coolidge.
