Review

Wasn’t familiar with this movie nor the events it is based on. This is possibly why it didn’t interest me too much. Can’t fault the acting and setting, but the story just felt rather boring. Not too much more to say about it really. If you like movies based on WW2 from a more niche perspective, this might be something for you. I’m not really partial to either so my score here could be a little harsh. Interesting pick nonetheless, not a movie I would have watched otherwise.

Trivia

First Austrian film to win an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Language Film Category.
