Excellent movie. Amazing performance by Thomas Kretschmann (as always). It's hard to see this gorgeous man dressed in drags and looks like hell half of the movie. The love scene of him with the nurse is so touching. The whole movie is a chilling and depressing experience until towards the last 30 minutes of the film. The only part that puzzles me is that after the "party" organized by the kind-hearted Jew, why were those Russian women so enthralled with the German POW's? Just after one or two dances? The pain and suffering of the war all thrown out of the window? Or, it's because so many Russian men had been killed that these women were simply man-hungry? It's a great movie in the same class of "the Pianist", go watch it!
