60 Years of German Cinema continues in Hanoi

The Nasty girl
The Nasty Girl (German: Das schreckliche Mädchen) is one of the seven films to be screened at the Goethe Institute in Hanoi in September

Seven German films from the 1990s will be screened in Hanoi from September 6 to 15 as part of a continuing program on 60 years of filmmaking in that country since World War II.

The program, 60 Years of German Cinema, began in January and has been showing films every two months representing each decade since the 1950’s.

The 1990’s saw the reunification of East and West Germany with all its attendant problems.

The seven films to be screened -- at the Goethe Institute, also the organizer of the event -- are “German, German,” “The Blackest Heart,” and “The Nasty Girl” (all 1990), “Ostkreuz” (1991), “After Five in the Forest Primeval” (1995), “Beyond Silence” (1996), and “Run Lola Run” (1998).

The Nasty Girl (German: Das schreckliche Mädchen) is a cult film based on the true story of Anna Rosmus of Passau, Bavaria.

In 1990 it won New York Film Critics Circle Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1991 it was nominated for the Oscar and Golden Globe Awards as Best Foreign Language Film.

In 1992 it won the BAFTA Award for Best Film not in English.

The free screenings will be at 7: 30 pm every day and passes are available at the institute, 56 – 58 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street.
