Goodbye To Berlin

Christopher Isherwood wrote Goodbye to Berlin from a series of detailed diaries he kept whilst living in Berlin during the 1930s. The novel includes an array of characters, living and working in the Weimar republic of pre-Nazi Germany.

Though the book is a novel, it reads largely autobiographical and having already watched Cabaret, I knew what to expect. If I hadn’t have seen the film before reading the novel, I feel some of the important characters wouldn’t have stood out to me as much. It just goes to show how interpreting a character into film can alter your whole perception.
