UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
德语片更注重历史厚重感，毕竟经过纳粹风暴和东西分裂的直接冲击，是不可能脱离政治经验的。故事叙述优秀，稍失之冗长，格调上更欣赏西语系的魔幻现实一些
开场不知道在干啥，后面我就走进了他的世界。
五分钟弃,受不了拿4:3当什么高级比例的装逼派,以及这拍得也太过意识流了,要发梦回家慢慢发,别拍出来.德式摇滚也都挺土的...掉渣那种土
我对这部电影本身没兴趣，但是据说是讲述1931年的德国人的平常生活，我只能说，这个世界的发展太不平衡了，发达国家与其他国家的区别，真的是很多人想象不到的
开场不知道在干啥，后面我就走进了他的世界。
根据埃里希·凯斯特纳小说《法比安》改编的同名电影，2021年德国🇩🇪版；
Just generally a really good movie if you like independent cinema.
如何在战争瘟疫这些非常态的社会环境中心怀希望？法比安具有洞悉世事的智慧，却依然心怀浪漫和情怀，如混沌时空中明亮的星。片头片中和片尾三次出现的贵妇，花式抛出诱惑，从不为之所动，有些界限跨出一步就会有无数步
激赞，不落窠臼的剧本, “迫真”对镜头语言, 将弥漫着的愁塑造得如此深度实为难得。
三个小时的电影，也能一口气看完，这部片子确实牛！过往岁月的恢宏背景，放下了立体饱满的男主角和各色人物，真的是一部好电影，抵过活三年。
看它不要想太多
一切开启的时候是最好的时光
与其说是30年代德国剪影，不如说是纪念这三个友人的故事。幸福与破碎。
难忘入冬的第一场雪❄️德国电影节首映，连线男主太开心了！
巨大的水涡。
晚上困得紧，看了两小时睡了一会才起来接着看完
1.女性对爱情沉沦交出一切的时候男性在心里说:真麻烦被缠上了
全片充斥着碎片化但却温暖的情绪，事业、友情和爱情的不幸在导演的处理下都显得不太冷酷，试镜时的独白，les酒吧里和好友的轻轻一吻，咖啡馆对峙时女孩伴着Ombra Mai Fu落下的泪水，以及山雨欲来前返回家中和父母共享平静的幸福。
他幸运地没有经历日后的历史 而是沉于奔赴旧爱的路上 （看完《歌厅》后发现了相似之处 同属那个战争即将来临的魏玛）
从来没有看完一部电影让我产生无比生理心理不适。恐怖片跟这相比算得上成人童话了。官僚体制会议流程程序至上一切都那么熟悉，就像我们平时开的一次次会议，竟然决定了六百多万人的生死。太恐怖了，太恐怖了，太恐怖了，每个人都没有错每个人都是做自己的工作，那到底是谁的错！是这个体制的错吗？是集权体制的错！是平庸的恶的错！
