Highly Recommended Joan Crawford seems to be the only major star from Hollywood's Golden Age whose movies today are stubbornly, consistently viewed through the prism of modern sensibilities and hindsight. Today, virtually all her post-MGM performances are regarded as high camp, even in acknowledged classics like Johnny Guitar (1954)
Recommended The Movie: Despite trying constantly, poor Niko ( Generation War 's Tom Schilling) finds himself unable to procure a cup of coffee during the twenty-four hours or so that unfold in Jan Ole Gerster's debut feature, A Coffee In Berlin (retitled from the original: Oh Boy ).

It's not a masterpiece by any means and suffers from some of the technical and narrative issues that usually plague a first time feature director, but it's also nowhere near as preachy and pretentious as similar efforts like Babel …
