This is a cerebral piece of work which tackles some of the war's longer, lingering questions in Germany and beyond, made flesh by some wonderful performances... Go to Full Review Sergio F. Pinilla Cinemanía (Spain) 12/09/2020

10/23/2021 Good film, but it fell apart from me right at the end when the son started stealing his godfather's art. Presumably he was stealing it to protect it from his own father, who was intent on burning all of it that he could find. But they didn't make that at all clear in the film. The film was dark and had almost no humor in it. That made it hard to watch. But I did find the North Sea landscapes interesting. The art, too, was quite beautiful, which brought home to me yet again how utterly stupid and devoid of any nuance Hitler and his henchmen were. See more Read all reviews
