Die verlorene Zeit

beautiful, haunting, superbly acted. One of the finest personal stories I've seen about World War II. Excellent cast! I felt that there wasn't black or white, and while it would have been easy to fall into clichés, the story actually left a lot to explore on our own and there was much more grey. I was particularly impressed by the actors, there was so much nuance and emotion and subtlety that at times I felt it was too real to be acted out. I stumbled upon this movie on Netflix and I didn't know what to expect. WWII movies can be too melodramatic and predictable, in my experience. However, this swept me off my feet and I feel that I will be going back to these story over and over again. I am so glad that I have decided to give it a try! Fantastic movie!
