action
The psychodrama tells the story of the West German Stasi agent Bea Kanter. As a young Frankfurt student, she was recruited in the 1970s by the Ministry for State Security as a "perspective agent". Over the next 16 years, the film shows how she initially relocated her studies from Frankfurt to the politically less suspect Cologne . After graduating, she was given a job at the Foreign Office and regularly provided information to the GDR . It was not until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 that it was exposed.
The main plot, however, lies in the protagonist's personal relationships, her inability to develop satisfactory relationships with men, and conflicts with her conservative family.
production
The film was edited by Barbara Buhl for WDR and Christine Strobl for ARD Degeto .
criticism
Rainer Tittelbach wrote in Tittelbach.tv that Julia Koschitz was convincing “in one of her most complex roles to date”. It goes on: "Although she does not embody a classic sympathetic figure, she takes the viewer on a tragic journey into the 70s and 80s for 90 minutes, with many nuances and without false nostalgia."
Despite the political theme, Invisible Years is "an apolitical, sometimes almost chamber-style film that manages to largely dispense with clichés and tell a piece of German-German everyday life," said Renate Meinhof in the online edition of the Süddeutsche Zeitung .
It is only marginally about politics, stated Heike Hupertz in faz.net . The focus is on the father-daughter conflict, “the 'psychodrama' of the child believed to be abandoned. That’s not enough of a good thing in spite of the handsome sheet-metal look from sixteen years of the Federal Republic and GDR (1974 to 1990) ”.
