Alain E @AlainE Jan 29 This is some kind of allegory, that after watching the first twenty minutes failed to win me. The time is contemporary based on the vehicles we see. The conditions remind WW II. It is totally uncertain who are the good guys and who the bad. French, Germans or aliens from Galaxy 3Ba. In summary: not interested.

There is a scene in the movie looking down a long external stairs to the harbour, and it is meant to suggest the descent into Hell of Dante's inferno. All the souls waiting for the ship are Dante's souls waiting for transport. A profound movie on many levels.

A nice love story with a certain amount of tension but that was about all. See more Georgan G @RT98616417 05/13/2024 Interesting crisis: to escape from Nazi Germany, or somewhere in the present day. The acting is as intense as the horrific situation calls for. The complex plot is urgent & compelling.

Few directors could pull off this kind of timeless evocation of the past, but Petzold correctly sees history as alive and knows how often we appear close to repeating it. See more 01/11/2022 It has entered, without a ticket or scale, on my list of the ten favorite movies of the month and the best hundred I have seen in my entire life. It is risky for its setting, modern and recognizable compared to a bygone era and, unfortunately, still recognizable, which makes it go even further than its love story. It is led by a formidable and overwhelmingly handsome Franz Rogowski who, alongside an enigmatic Paula Beer, defies all expectations and takes the viewer into an emotional and political journey that, in the end, leaves a inexplicably sublime taste.
