Christiane Lang plays Anna Magdalena Bach, the impoverished widow of the brilliant composer Johann Sebastian Bach (Gustav Leonhardt) in this austere biographical film.

    COLLEGE GIRL MURDERS

    By Alfred Vohrer

    An eerie entry in the German krimi series, this murder mystery unfolds at a female boarding school where the pretty co-eds are dropping like flies.

    HEAD-ON

    By Fatih Akin

    Fatih Akin's award-winner is an energized story of love, regret and redemption that follows the mismatched marriage between two Turks that stretches from Hamburg to Istanbul. Meeting in a psychiatric clinic, the self-destructive leads, Cahit and Sibil, decide to dive into a marriage of convenience, with each free to live an independent life filled with drink, drug and anonymous sex. The platonic nature of their relationship is tested, though, as they spend more time together and apart. With a punk rock heart that pumps both violently and amorously, Head On signals the arrival of a significant talent in Akin.

    HEIMAT

    By Edgar Reitz

    While America watched Roots, Germany watched Heimat with the same mixture of pride and shame that held a nation spellbound. The riveting 16-hour film was the sensation of the Munich, London and Venice Film Festivals and a huge hit in France and Germany. It is the incredible interlocking saga of a German family from the end of World War I to 1982. Ambitious, grand, yet very intimate, Heimat is an incredible motion picture chronicle--an immersion in the lives, loves and tragedies of the extended Simon family. Shot over two years, the film features 28 leading performers, 140 speaking roles and a cast of 5,000 non-professional actors.

    By Michael Schorr

    A wonderfully endearing German comedy, starring Horst Krause as a staid, middle-aged accordionist whose life is turned upside-down when he hears a few bars of Cajun zydeco wafting from the radio.

    TUNNEL, THE

    By Roland Suso Richter

    A gripping suspense thriller based on real events, Roland Suso Richter's film is like The Great Escape set twenty five years later and turned on its head. Heino Ferch stars as champion swimmer Harry Melchoir, an East Berliner who arranges to escape to the West with his family. The shrewd swimmer assembles a crackpot team of experts and volunteers to burrow to freedom on the other side of the Berlin Wall. Working in claustrophobic conditions and with the threat of discovery close at hand, the group's determination is a testament to the fierceness of their convictions.

    Review

    By Frank Wisbar

As Boyd's assistant (Horzt Bucholz) struggles to disprove the claims, the hysteria over the story grows to feverish proportions. With Gert Frobe (Goldfinger).
