Its 1989 and whenever he isnt hanging out in the local bars Herr Lehmannlives entirely free of responsibility in the bohemian Berlin district ofKreuzberg. Through years of judicious sidestepping and heroic indolence thisbarman has successfully avoided the demands of parents landlords neighboursand women. But suddenly one unforeseen incident after another seems to threatenhis idyllic and rather peaceable existence. He has an encounter with adecidedly unfriendly dog his parents threaten to descend on Berlin from theprovinces and he meets a dangerously attractive woman who throws his emotionallife into confusion. Berlin Blues is a richly entertaining evocation of life inthe city and a classic of modernday decadence. «
