The City Below
Christoph Hochhäusler Germany, 2010
24 days to watch
Berlin School Double
Feature
If The State I’m In was a new German cinema at its start, Christoph Hochhäusler’s combination financial drama and romance showcases its maturity. The setting is 21st century capitalism, the playing field, glass-walled skyscrapers and flats. But the stakes—life, happiness, love—are utterly human.
