Elsewhere I put down one of my three favourite films of all time was Heimat.
For those who are interested, they are re-showing on BBC4 starting tonight at 9pm. (I have just discovered this after having inadvertently slept past the time at which I planned to go dancing.)
Now the bad news.
It's 22 hours long (no, really) so they're showing it in 11 2-hour episodes, and guess what? On a Friday night as well. So not many Forumites will catch it.
But for those who do, it is to film what Wagner is to musical theatre.
