I went by the poster and failed to see it was in German since the poster was in English. I resent being essentially duped into seeing a film about the Holocaust, when I am interested in seeing historical films, but not when I expect to see a film about European gangsters. Is that supposed to be a joke? Lousy joke. Plenty of folk are interested in history and are not in need of a lecture about WW2 under the pretense of a romantic action flick. Extreamly poor move by the promo people.
This is the film that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. It was not promoted as being a "romantic action flic (k) " I don't think the film was a "lecture." Why would you call it that?
Very good movie, but at times, not easy to watch. I can understand why it won an Academy for the best foreign film. Based on a true story and it's believable! Worth 8½.
