This well-acted, well-made and artfully restrained film not only takes us quietly and deftly into an underground and highly believable world of pre-war Nazi Europe, but through a memorable group of inter-related individuals from almost all sides, (steadily taking us further and further into their sensibilities and situations and tensions of the quite credible and 'rich' world of their arts in this 30s period), without force we come away with a tangible sense of the everyday milieu of many people at the time, right across Europe - - but without notable fanfare, brutal war images, and so on, but rather showing an almost ordinary week or so during an extraordinary time. Worth watching, and then worth watching again!
