Then, I'm Switzerland on this one . . . .

I surely wasn't bowled over by the talent and found the first half way overdrawn. The last half, "the hammer", was particularly surreal and beyond brutal. As much as a circus the village scene is it could have easily represented truth of a German unit's "behavior".

One problem, for me, is that the director cast a group of village people that looked every bit the part that would justify the German ideology of extermination.

I have no desire to see it again but I also think it's a good snapshot of the truth that people might see. I know the German racial pogrom in Russia is completely off the American radar screen. It's something we never think about--it's out of reach. This film does give it reach.
