⭐ Featured Review

Historic novel turned into a nice piece of unpretentious picture.

7/10

"Fabian is the story of modern Germany between two wars and two ideals. It is written in a witty, bitter-sweet and unpretentious style and same goes for this film. What we are presented with in both formats is a nation in turmoil, that has lost its pride (they lost world war I), has no money (Germany was forced to forward awful amounts of reparation-payments to half of Europe after WWI), growing anger about those payments and a lack of orientation (politicaly). It reminds us of such talents as Tucholsky, Zweig, Brecht, Weill, Eisler and other big names from that time and space. This is big city..."
