Interesting movie but a tad dry. One thing that set me back was an all English cast playing Frenchman in France. Certainly a quaint notion. Another point was Caine's character being so racked with guilt that he had become a over-religious, forgiveness zealot. One would think he would have blown his brains out long before. The cast was topflight yet the script just didn't support all the talent.

Dry? Like a Martini? Explain what do understand with this word. I had to suffer even more, imagine French Nazis speaking with an English accent! But I could easily shut it off my head, as the playing was generally good. What did really please me was the close proximity to the real. As for the rest I never said it is a very good film, but one if you are interested at this moment of history ( and still of some actuality ) not to be missed. I hope you somehow enjoyed it! AND that you learnt as I did, on this theme.
Yes, I enjoyed it and was surprised that it wasn't a much better film with the number of English heavyweights in it: Caine, Bates, Swinton, Finley, Northam . . .
Yes it could have been so much better! But we take what we got. Have you seen " Enigma " ?
Again not that good but perfectly enjoyable.
