The Man on the Other Side (2019)
Look Here, Netflix!
8 February 2022 - 4 out of 8 users found this review helpful.
Why doesn't Netflix have this on their platform? It's the perfect film for their demographics. Spy Thriller, 80s style, Gritty.
Despite the low budget, the film has an intelligent story to tell about the Cold War between East and West Germany, and the emotional toil it inflicts on people. Far better than those big, loud, annoying action films.
The lead actress Mari Bensel carries the film with a strong, gutwrenching performance.
Scenes are set in limited places, but works well for the story they are telling. Good footage of gritty, industrialised East Germany.
