A German village changes a great deal between 1919 and 1982.

Reviewed by Chris Tookey


Made for TV as an 11-part serial, Heimat rewards the length of time you need to set aside in order to see it. It's an enormously detailed study of the impact of social and political change on a rural community in Germany. No political posturing, plenty of insight.
