Der Rote Baron: Directed by Nikolai Müllerschön. With Tomás Koutník, Tomás Ibl, Albert Franc, Matthias Schweighöfer. German biopic loosely based on the World War I fighter ace Manfred Von Richthofen, nicknamed the Red Baron by friend and foe alike.
“it is not exactly the expected historical film. maybe a documentary. far by patriotic enthusiasm – so familiar from American films- , without emotional twists – the tone is almost blank, giving the portrait of a legendary German hero in precise lines. a cold sketch. about the Red Baron and his comrades, his girl friend, humor and passion for its duty. the historical accuracy is far to be the best point but the film gives a realistic portrait . and this is a real precious virtue.”
