Great review Chris! Though I found the first film to be the strongest. The characters were so strongly defined and the closing shot was perfect. However, I did think the third was the weakest initially, but after reading your review and with a few hours hindsight I\’ve really come around on it as a great entry. The entire trilogy is great though. I loved how the three separate genres/stories exist in the same overarching grand story.

Graf\’s career predates that of the Berlin School for about 2 decades; he\’s primarily a genre filmmaker (an excellent one, I might add); and he\’s considerably more invested in narrative and characters\’ ability to communicate successfully with each other than (most of) the Berlin School directors. Indeed, the genesis of the Dreileben project was precisely a disagreement between Graf on one hand and Petzold/Hochhausler on the other (which isn\’t to say CP and CH are necessarily assuming the same position against Graf in their email exchange/debate). In some ways, Graf had been challenging the Berlin School in public ways for a while, which eventually led to this email debate, which ultimately pointed the way to this filmic experiment/debate. For more on Graf, see my interview with him in Senses of Cinema: http://www.sensesofcinema.com/2010/feature-articles/“‘i-build-a-jigsaw-puzzle-of-a-dream-germany’-an-interview-with-german-filmmaker-dominik-graf”-2/
