Alain E @AlainE Jul 7, 2026 It evolves very slowly and until the final few moments it is unclear what the viewer needs to think. Then the voice of God places everything in a perspective. Until then I would consider it a 2.5 stars movie. In summation the film is analogous to a Greek tragedy. People thought that they were in control. The SS officer died convinced that history would vindicate him. Reality begged to differ. See more Oct 14, 2017 Pathetically dumbed down driven. Sensationalized with the Hollywood agenda. Good acting. But screenplay is predictably simple and demeaning. See more Oct 3, 2017 Normally do not like seeing foreign films, however yours looks not only compelling but very enlightening as well. See more Jul 26, 2017 I saw this at the Cleveland International Film Festival 2016. This Russian/German produced Holocaust film has a unique format in that the three main characters tell their versions of the story through interrogations in a very nondescript room. These are intercut with flashbacks showing what life was like before WWII hit and mainly what life was like for the resistance fighter Olga in a particular concentration camp. Like Casablanca and so many other WWII dramas there are several SS officers and guards as well as French collaborators. The period detail and black and white cinematography that really helps set the scene are both so well done. The performers are nuanced and the characters are three dimensional.
