EAST GERMAN FILMS

 

A friend asked me to recommend some East German films. So I made this list:

 

หนังเยอรมันตะวันออกที่เราชอบมากที่สุดที่เคยดูมาคือ HELD FOR QUESTIONING (1983, Frank Beyer) ส่วนคนที่สนใจหนังเยอรมันตะวันออก เราก็ขอแนะนำให้ดูหนังหลายๆเรื่องของ Frank Beyer, Lutz Dammbeck, Rainer Simon, Heiner Carow, Jürgen Böttcher, Evelyn Schmidt, Lothar Warneke, Gerhard Klein, Egon Günther, Konrad Wolf, Helmut Dziuba, Herrmann Zschoche, Kurt Maetzig, Joachim Hellwig จ้ะ

 

ส่วนคนที่สนใจหนังทดลองของเยอรมันตะวันออก ก็ควรหาดูหนังของ Helge Leiberg, Gino Hahnemann, Cornelia Schleime, Cornelia Klauß, Via Lewandowsky, Thomas Frydetzki, Claus Löser, Tohm di Roes, Thomas Werner และ Barbara Köppel จ้ะ

 

(ดีวีดีหนังของผู้กำกับเหล่านี้ส่วนใหญ่มีให้ยืมได้ที่ห้องสมุดของสถาบันเกอเธ่)
