good bye french fry

Last year I saw and loved Good Bye Lenin!, a German film that addresses the fall of the Berlin wall from the East side of the wall. I guess it is a drama, but the absurd premise places it in the realm of a comedy as well. I rewatched it last weekend, and found myself feeling simultaneously happy and sad in a way akin to the way that Amelie, a french film from a few years back, made me feel. I was thinking that it might have to do with the mood that the music sets, and, aha! I was tricked. Yann Tiersen, who did the soundtrack for Amelie, also did Good Bye Lenin!.
