I just saw Good Bye Lenin!, a German comedy, which I very much enjoyed. While not being a farce (as the plot would suggest--a son trying to convince his bed-ridden mother who has just come out of a coma that the Berlin wall hasn't fallen & East Germany is still Communist) it is still very funny at times, but also touching (especially in the relationship between the mother & son, both played well by Katrin Sass and Daniel Bruhl) and poignant. The ending drags slightly and isn't made sufficiently clear (although I understood it) but this is still a very charming and witty film.
