Never Look Away (which bears no reference to the title in German)

This is an interesting movie, not a romance/drama as most reviews have it
It traces the life of a young boy in Nazi uniform in the 1930s through to his art studies in East Germany, where he is rewarded for his socialist realism art. When he escapes to the West he has difficulty in finding himself in the turbulent avant garde demands of the time. At the same time he becomes aware of his father in law's Nazi past which is the second major theme of the film.
Quite long but I found it wortb the time
