Total crap

Rating: 1/10 (25 October 2011)

To put it mild, the film was a total crap for me. Trying to tackle a serious, tragic topic of the Nazi occupied Netherlands in the end of the WW II, the film represents just a fake picture of miraculous survival of a Jewish girl. There are lots of plot gaps, the movie is full of gags and moments which were not thoroughly thought over. I wanted to see it mainly because of Sebastian Koch who did a great performance in The Lives of Others. Extreme disappointment. The nudity and vulgar scenes were probably meant to attract attention, however, at the end of the day, they make the film a parody,a soft porno, a series of escapes. It is a bunch of episodes which together convey the feeling of a hotchpotch rather than a consistent sequence of events.
There was nothing that made you FEEL the tragedy of the war and the crippled fate of a Jewish girl. All the scenes were Pushed into your eyes and mind without giving you the possibility to "absorb" the pain, to contemplate for a moment. Thriller? Action? I would rather call it a cheap strip cartoon, a pile of untalented "actors". I was surprised why a dud such as Sebastian Koch would accept a role in such a sloppy production...
