There are always many approaches to foreign countries, or people from another land. Because it is or it seems differents. Sometimes it may be sympathy, at first glance, because you feel it sshould be this way. And words and postures may send you some sand in your attentive yes.
By now, dear Victor, you know the " pietre estime " I have for this film.
It was from the factory of the " DDR " they had their Marxism heritage ( peuh, most of them were reconvertible Nazis...)
Well, all this film was wooden, the actors, the decors, the actions.
The only goal I could and would recognised was the will to depict war as evil, of course not all wars, but this war, back then from a German point of view.
This pictures did not misse ONE cliché.
The only thing I can think of is to look at it as a curiosity.
I know you have seen it long time ago, and maybe not in the complete version I have.Désolé, cher frére!

Yes, I saw it in like 1967, so hopefully I do get soft treatment.I also saw some nice reviews - but I should have known better. Sorry, Patrick, didn't mean to make you lose money on this one.
I guess another beer's on me. :-(
You ALREADY did get the VERY soft treatment. And as you know I am very bad at " soft ".....
Money ? who cares!
And I should I have know without..bla..bla...
Ok...One beer...
That film of course was heavily promoted in the USSR, with the book published also - we read the book first, and at that time thought some moments were chilling - like the lumber mill scene... but of course since then we all have been hardened.Speaking of hardening - based on Bunuel's high prase ordered 120 Days of Sodom - the book - yesterday... I have not read it. Interesting was his praise for de Sade in general - I wish I could share it - do you? I am sure reading Justine in the restrictive atmosphere of Spain or the USSR would be... shall we say... stimulating... but reading it at the mature age is more boring than anything.
So - who stole that copy? Dali?
Who stole it? It you read between the lines, it would point out to Salvatore, BUT?
I read Sade, partly and too long ago, and I always prefered the soft Casanova memoir...He he...But once you have read it, and think that it transform an old goat into a young spring goat...Let me know...I would join the party.....
