Up to the Border - A Personal View About the Berlin Wall Trailers

Sunday, August 13th 1961, the government of the German Democratic Republic lays the foundation stone for the 'ugliest monument in the world'. Some people start pulling their 8mm-cameras out of their cupboards to capture the images of the events. On the base of these extraordinary, widely unknown recordings and found footage, Claus Oppermann und Gerald Grotes first feature film tells many impressive forgotten stories about the rise of the Berlin Wall in 1961 to its fall in 1989, about the division of Germany and a bloody borderline through the middle of Europe. A unique documentary, put together out of hundreds of previously unreleased substandard films that have never been seen like this before. Many private archives were opened for the first time - a time travel, well worth seeing.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Billy Ollie

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
