I struggle to replicate the expressionless gaze I so admire in the Square’s bride and angel living statues. I stare straight ahead and try not to smile, not to make eye contact with the countless cruel passersby who ignore us or—even worse—approach us and then reconsider. One woman gives us the thumbs up; another comments to a friend that the performance...

...parking meters had to be removed, for example. The key moment in the film, when the mother sees a Soviet helicopter carrying away a huge bust of Lenin, took weeks to shoot because of weather problems and a malfunctioning Russian chopper. Goodbye Lenin! won the Blue Angel, the award for the best European film, at the 53rd Berlin Film Festival in February. And critics are wowed.

The film has been sold to 29 different markets, including Italy, where it opens...
