In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction. This week we revisit Good Bye Lenin!, a 2003 german comedy movie directed by Wolfgang Becker and starring Daniel Brühl, Katrin Sass and Maria Simon, about a son trying to hide the collapse of socialist East Germany from his mother as she is recovering from a heart attack. We talk about how the historical and political satire lands with people who are not already familiar with German history and culture, how the satire succeeds by not punching down but rather empathising with the people who lived through the events the movie depicts, the expert use of dry irony, and why this movie remains timely and relevant more than 20 years later, and much more.  Related playlists: Comedy movie reviews: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0UbLhXlobg6OWrwfsEQhkf 2000s movie reviews: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4OKfR0jJ3YbyEwv4SorfOo
