In Times of Fading Light (German: In Zeiten des abnehmenden Lichts) is a 2017 German drama film directed by Matti Geschonneck.[1] The film shows a day in the life of a family in the GDR. It was screened in the Berlinale Special section at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival.[2] It is based on the 2011 novel of the same name by Eugen Ruge.
Cineuropa describes it: "Thematically, dramatically and visually, this is a sombre, intelligent piece in which psychological finesse combines with historical analysis to result in genuine dramatic heft."[3] In Times of Fading Light is an ensemble piece. Geschonneck contributes to this sombre theme challenging societal ideals, which expose the harshness of a new historical day.
