Berlin Architecture and Design, edited by Chris van Uffelen (Neues Publishing Co., $12.95). The perfect companion on a self-guided tour. • The third Berlin Biennial for contemporary art runs through April 18 and includes visual art, performance, and a film program (at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, the Martin-Gropius-Bau, and the Arsenal Kino; www.berlinbiennale.de). • Opening this month, Rosenstrasse, the latest film by Margarethe von Trotta, casts an unsentimental eye on the German women married to German Jews who, in 1943, held a seven-day vigil on Rosenstrasse, in Berlin's Jewish quarter, in order to secure their husbands' freedom. • Wolfgang Becker's Goodbye, Lenin! (awarded Best European Film at last year's Berlin Film Festival) comedically traces the efforts of a young manto spare his mother the shock of finding out that, while she was in a coma, the Berlin Wall came down.
