While you know it's all going to turn out rather badly, you can't help but be seduced by star Hanna Schygulla.

Though A Love in Germany may well be about 'ordinary' fascism it fails to measure up to the competition of Germany, Pale Mother and others of that kind.
March 24, 2020 | Full Review… -
[Schygulla] gives what must be called a triumphant performance, one that ranks with the best of her work with Fassbinder, in a film that must be the most romantic ever made by Mr. Wajda.
March 24, 2020 | Full Review… -
The sheer accumulation of contextual detail overwhelms and diminishes the narrative of amour foil at the film's centre.
March 24, 2020 | Full Review… -
Why great directors occasionally deliver an outrageous clunker is anyone's guess, but here's another one for the books -- A Love in Germany, Andrzej Wajda's meditation on the banality of evil, with the emphasis on banality.
March 24, 2020 | Full Review… -
The grim inevitability of the tragedy, which someone like Fassbinder might have enlightened with another of his lessons on "everyday fascism," is treated with a heavier, less convincing hand by Wajda.
