Nonureva Really Surprised!
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
clemensottawa30 This semi- documentary Film is about the austrian pacifistic and very religious guy: Franz Jägerstätter. Born 1907 in St. Radegund in Upper- Austria. When World War 2 started, he refused to fight, because he didn´t want to kill other people. The refusion of the military service was a sin, at the point of view of the NS. So they decided to bring Jägerstätter in front of a military court, where he was condemn to death. On the ninth of August 1943 he was execute.Sadly this is an austrian true story. Director Axel Corti (1933-1993) filmed this movie in black and white, because this time (1938-1945) was so depressing, that there "was no colour". Actor Kurt Weinzierl (1931) a famous austrian actor plays still fantastic. A masterpiece.
