Abstract

This article, from the methodological perspective of comparative cinema, analyzes the relationships between parents, children and World War II, represented in two different films produced in East Germany, in 1968 and 1971. Die Russen Kommen and Karriere have as main scope the immediate post war in Germany. In both productions, we emphasize the passages in which the generational and familiar tension regarding the past is evident. This approach made possible to perceive the relationship of films with their specific context of production and, at the same time, a partial understanding of how the past, collaboration with the Nazi regime and family relationships were interpreted by East German cinema.
