ESSENTIAL GERMAN FILMS

IN TIERS, IN YEAR ORDER. Including a few mixed nationality films (part Austrian or Turkish for example), East as well as West Germany, also significant but infamous documentaries by Leni Riefenstahl. For now, i’ve not included Grizzly Man, Family Romance LLC and Salt of the Earth though by German directors, as they are filmed elsewhere and not German productions.
