Barbara, dir. Christian Petzold, Germany 2012, 101 min., German with English subtitles, 12
Summer in the GDR, 1980. Barbara, a young doctor, is exiled to a provincial hospital, seemingly punished for attempting to leave East Germany. Confined to a claustrophobic small town and under a constant veil of suspicion, she befriends no one, waiting patiently for the opportunity to resume her mission.
Winner of the Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear for writer-director Christian Petzold and starring a luminous Nina Hoss, Barbara is a complex and engrossing character study that elegantly combines the traditions of both melodrama and thriller.
