I bought it at a used book store.
However you can get it from www.Amazon.com.UK .

No, it was definitely released in 1986. I remember because my mom wanted very much to go see it with me, but she was too ill. She died in 1990.
Internet Movie Database also confirms it came out in 1986.

Perhaps you are right. I was going strictly on memory.

Oddly enough, there was another movie with the same title and subject released in 2004.

Maybe that’s what I’m thinking of.

I’m just so sorry to this day that my mother didn’t get to see it; she would have loved it. It was never released on VHS and only came out on DVD a few years ago.

The later one from 2004 wasn’t that great. I’ll have to try to track down the earlier one.

I’d have to go with Downfall or Passion. I need to see some of the others listed here.

Oldboy was a trip and a half. If you love amazing fight scenes, rent “District B13” from France and Ong Bak with Tony Jaa from Thailand. Jaa makes Bruce Lee look like a cripple. Both movies sucked but had the most amazing fight scenes ever-or you could just watch them on youtube.

Sorry, I mashed the title for Egon Monks film, “Die Geschwister Oppermann,” The Oppermans. The film’s theme is instructive. I copy a comment from IMBD: “Anyone who wonders how such a country as cultured as the German Weimar Republic could evolve into a Nazi dictatorship can see the relevant events take place in almost documentary-like detail. And those who believed that the signs of Hitler’s danger to the world in general and the Jews in particular were years away will observe for themselves just how wrong they were.”

Life is Beautiful (an all-time favorite)
Babette’s Feast (Danish film?) was interesting but depressing. I can’t bear the thought of living in such isolation.
You found Life is Beautiful a favorite and Babette’s Feast Depressing??? Wow

I was going to say the same thing. The problem is I could only watch it once. I was so unprepared for the impact of that movie on me.
