Stilles Land • “In 1992 Dresen adopted an inclusive, non-confrontational approach toward a target audience that had only just emerged from the GDR and was grappling with the challenges of unification. His film does not diminish the efforts or achievements of those who protested for change, but it does seek to recuperate authentic experience from the media images that flashed around the world in the autumn of 1989.” (“From Berlin to Prenzlau: Representations of GDR Theater in Film and Literature,” in The GDR Remembered: Representations of the East German State since 1989: 32)
