Alone in Berlin

Aroview: Earnest resistance drama set in 1940, with Emma Thompson and Brendan Gleeson as a working class German couple who, after learning of their only son’s death on the battlefield, decide to resist the Nazi regime in their very own way. Based on the novel “Every Man Dies Alone” by Hans Fallada, allegedly based on actual Gestapo files.

“While not the most formally adventurous or action-packed picture, it is a film of compelling urgency.” ~VILLAGE VOICE
