Stunning, thought provoking amazing film

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2011)

Still thinking about this days later. Visually stunning, specific characters, wonderfully directed and acted with terrific casting. Was able to show such dimensional characters and kept you on the edge of your seat. Offers great opportunity for debate. Introduced unique ideas about the culture of Germany in that time period and a glimpse into one of the many things that may have contributed to the rise of Nazism. Slice of life, small world combined with the incredible backdrop of a large cinematic world. The filming was just gorgeous. And the casting! So many unknown stars that fit the characters so well. I just loved this film.
