Music Box – Die ganze Wahrheit: Directed by Costa-Gavras. With Jessica Lange, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Frederic Forrest, Donald Moffat. A lawyer defends her father accused of war crimes, but there is more to the case than she suspects.

“I was astounded in reading the comments on these films to see people saying that Armin Muehler-Stallu0026#39;s character is flat and empty.Also, those that say his angry outbursts are not threatening.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy father is a Hungarian immigrant who I have wondered where he has a similar u0026quot;true storyu0026quot;. I can say from personal experience that Arminu0026#39;s performances are consistent with my fatheru0026#39;s outbursts and for me personally were terrifying when seeing the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn terms of the generalization that the performance was u0026quot;flatu0026quot;, there is a cold, clinical, almost sociapathic sense to some elderly Hungarians. Additionally, I found Jessica Langeu0026#39;s performance COMPLETELY believeable as someone raised under such strong expectations and often silent or restrained about true expressions of emotion or fear.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThatu0026#39;s my two cents. DO NOT underestimate the ACCURACY of this film.”
