useful

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 2017)

remains a mystery the source of seduction for this special film. explanations are many. the meet of Burt Spencer and Marlene Dietrich and the great artistic duel. the performances of Maximilian Schell and Cliff Montgomery. the wise way for translate on the screen a real delicate subject. or, maybe, the ash who becomes ground and sky in this portrait of Europe after a huge crime out of words. few scenes are fresh in memory long time after I saw it. fragments, crumbs, seeds. from an inspired portrait of the evil in the best manner. because it is more than a film about Nazi legacy. or sketches of few lives after war. something defines in profound manner the story. something present in yourself. it has many names - fear, fragments of readied stories, slices from news from every day. but it is so profound in yourself than this film becomes a form of cure. or exorcism. so, an useful film.
