This is the sort of film that pops up in your mind every now and then, even weeks (an i bet years) after you have seen it. first of all it is different. its leisurely pace is perfect and necessary for all the currents that run beneath the surface. it is enchanting, but not overly sweet. and it gives you an incredibly vivid impression of the once divided berlin.
unfortunately, it can't deliver at the end. just when the disjoint threads of the story finally combine, it is too explicit, too unimaginative and almost too trivial.
finally, watch out for peter falk, as the 'devil'. he is really top notch.
