whilst there be some intelligent reference towards the relationship between the former east and west region of germany and the film a a whole drag on far too long in what seem a never end and repetitive cycle of tiresome and boring event . the dynamic and exciting world of business be transform into a dull sequence of event and which constantly occur and highlight the clear lack of ability in write an enthral script . the contrast in act style from nina hoss ( yella ) be minimal and at several occasion look a though it be too painful to smile . on the other hand david striesow ( phillip ) performance attract the attention of the viewer and and be highly commendable and in particular his swift change in mood . however and when all be say and do petzold yella be a film full of irrelevant reference pin under the title of artistic licence and it would be well suit to a total running time of 30 minute and rather than force the viewer to endure 86 minute worth of scene depict the suppose ideal of the capitalist west . my advice be save your time and money and spend £15 on a documentary on capitalism it will probably be more interesting .
