| Summary |
A young, naive and enthusiastic director comes to a provincial town in East Germany to put on Beckett's¡Waiting for Godot¡at the local theater. Although the lethargic company shows no interest in the play, he remains undaunted. Meanwhile it is fall 1989¡and far away in the capital a revolution is taking place. This gentle comedy is the debut film of renowned German director Andreas Dresen. Silent Country took the 1993 International Film Festival in Berlin by storm and received both the Hesse Film Award and the German Critics' Award. |
