“Apart form the films of Michael Haneke, this was one of the few German language films in recent years that left a lasting impression on me. It offers a realistic – and haunting – portrayal of what it must have been like for the youths during the dark years of the third reich to be u0026#39;bredu0026#39; and drilled to meet the required Nazi standards for the u0026quot;master-raceu0026quot;. Impressive, well acted cinema from Germany. 8 stars out of 10.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn case youu0026#39;re interested in more underrated gems, hereu0026#39;s some of my favorites:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eimdb.com/list/ls070242495”
