The silver anniversary of MoMA’s annual survey of recent films from Germany continues, with highlights from years past celebrating the originality and strong social consciousness of contemporary German cinema. January’s installment features films that have become classics, including Doris Dörrie’s Men (1985), Helke Sander’s Redupers—The All-Around Reduced Personality (1978), Werner Schroeter’s The Rose King (1986), Volker Schlöndorff’s Circle of Deceit (1981), and Wim Wenders’s Wrong Move (1975). Andreas Dresen, Roland Suso Richter, and Tom Tykwer are represented by recent works: Grill Point (2002), A Handful of Grass (1999), and Wintersleepers (1997), respectively.
