Tom Brook travels to Berlin to explore some German cinema classics. The programme reviews Good Bye, Lenin! a film which dealt very imaginatively with the impact of the wall coming down on one East Berlin family.

Talking Movies explores some of the other great classics of Germany's cinema. Presenter Tom Brook visits Berlin's famed Babelsberg Film Studio to enter the very soundstage where the legendary German star Marlene Dietrich shot to fame almost 100 years ago after shooting her portrayal of the nightclub singer Lola Lola in The Blue Angel. Through conversations with a group of distinguished critics and film lovers Talking Movies also surveys other German classics including The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Ali: Fear Eats the Soul and Head-On, and finds out how each film reflects the social and political undercurrents in German culture at the time they were made. Among the contributors casting their verdicts on the German classic films featured in the programme are director Anthony Fabian, top German movie critics Barbara Schweizerhof and Patrick Heidmann, as well as Talking Movies reporter Emma Jones.
