Der rote Baron (2008) Download Voll

Drama about World War I flying aces never gets off the ground.. If the film is intelligent and thoughtful, it is unfortunately lacking in energy and passion; it is more a somber, highly familiar reflection on warfare and its toll than an action movie.. The propaganda films produced by both sides in the '30s and '40s might've been objectionable for many reasons but at least they had the good sense...

Der Mongole (2007) Film-Streaming

While the historical accuracy may be dodgy, Mongol is a sweeping and quasi-mythical epic that recalls Lawrence of Arabia.. . Relates the story of Genghis Khan's early years in a plodding, uninspired fashion that doesn't bode well for the next two entries in a planned trilogy.. Bodrov and Arif Aliyev wrote the film, which was one of this year's foreign-language Oscar nominees, and their account is...

Churchill: The Hollywood Years (2004) Beobachten Film

A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convincing performances.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without...

Beasts of No Nation (2015) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Idris Elba gives an intense performance as the boy's commanding officer and eventual father figure; his character comes across as monstrous at first but seems increasingly vulnerable as the story develops.. Simply a bloody revel in the hideous.. It's not only a moving film but, far rarer, an important one, calling our attention to one war that never ends: The war on innocence.. Director/writer Cary...

Black Book (2006) Voll Streaming

Stout-hearted celebration of the Dutch Resistance or total smut? Try both.. . The happy ending demands that [Verhoeven's] return-journey film -- Black Book -- be a rousing artistic triumph. It isn't. Too many of his lazy Hollywood habits have followed him home.. Paul Verhoeven's WWII drama stars the lovely Dutch actress Carice van Houten as a Jewish Resistance worker, and costars her breasts. All...

Die Grauzone (2001) Online-Streaming-

A deeply moving and powerful film.. No dramatic feature has ever come quite this close to the matter-of-fact ugliness of the Nazi crimes.. Although the movie takes us further into the actual process of industrial death at Auschwitz than any American movie has yet dared, The Grey Zone never stoops to sensation or melodrama.. A howl of grief and outrage that all middle paths were torched in this tragic...

Suite Française (2014) Voll Streaming

As doomed wartime romances go, the film doesn't offer anything particularly original. But with palpable tension and poignancy, Suite Francaise is fine filmmaking well worth watching.. A sturdy enough but ultimately overpolite entry into the classic wartime women's melodrama, in which war's impact on the lonely heart is nearly as devastating as the havoc wreaked on limb and landscape.. Iffy scripting...
