"A Bright Room Called Day" is simply incredible. It relates the years just prior to World War II through the eyes of a group of artists, actors, and communists living in Berlin, with narration by a modern-day bohemian. It revolves around a main character, Agnes, who lives her life by avoiding

conflict and hoping that things will get better without her interference. This passivity is not condemned, merely noted; we have the choice to realize the commentary. "A Bright Room Called Day" is startling and absolutely gorgeous.
