Interesting backdrop of East Berlin but felt like i had to have a lot of prior knowledge to get all the references, also neither of the characters were likeable and he in particular was a right nasty bastard! But it was compelling and had some exquisite scenes.

The main character never learns! It’s not a love story, it’s just tragic and sad
