Berlin-Schoenhauser Corner
(Gerhard Klein, 1957, East Germany, Beta-SP, 79 min)
This teen cult film was the GDR's answer to Rebel Without a Cause, offering a perceptive social portrait of a city whose political and economic divisions affected its entire population. Greeted with suspicion by cultural authorities, the film was instantly embraced by the East German public for its truthful portrayal of everyday life. Corner is set in a post-war but pre-Wall Berlin, in which rebellious teenagers deviate from the state's socialist ideals in favor of running illegal currency-transaction rackets, fantasizing about fleeing westwards or getting pregnant.
