Blew me away

This is one of the best films I have ever seen, rarely has a film combined suspense, pathos, intelligence, sadness and humor in such a tight and heart wrenching narrative. I have met the director here at the screening (Columbia college)and he seemed like a perfect embodiment of the film, an interesting man. The standing ovation and the continuation of the applauds that lasted a good five minutes is a small indication of how well received this master piece was. CLASS from the word go, a must see, especially in today's atmosphere where dark clouds that are looming over our horizons. Pack a clean white handkerchief, you'll use it. Toby Ross Hornbill Films

Well-crafted, well-acted but devastatingly emotional

At the film festival where I saw this film, even jaded film veterans were unprepared for its emotional wallop. This is one of the few films dealing with gay persecution during the Nazi era. It works unflinchingly to ground the material in both a French and German Nazi context. Its brutal but honest portrayal tests the viewer's tolerance for the horrific. Yet this film manages to be subtle, nuanced and rich not only through its script, but also in its period depiction, and lastly, in its dramatic execution. Obviously a work of love, this film conveys much of what is worst and best of humanity set in 1942 during the upheaval of Nazi-occupied Paris.

The Short Review

This film, while historically interesting and politically relevant, goes deeper than most message films. What is so fascinating is that so many things go on in this film besides suffering and Nazi hatred. It is, above all, the story of a family (and the family that is created).

Yes, the Nazis' massacre of Jews and Gays is a huge part of this movie, but what sets it apart is the humanistic story of love, jealousy, acceptance, guilt and tragedy that is set WITHIN the central group of friends and family in the film. There are many small surprises, and the melodrama is really cut to a minimum. Some very wrenching scenes, for example, come and go before you can get a good cry in. To me, the true brilliance of the film lies in its ability to show rather than tell what horrors befell Europe during Hitler's reign.

Why no distributor

Other reviewers have shared their experience with this amazing movie. I saw it in July at the Outfest film festival in LA. What I don't understand is why this film has never been distributed in the US? In will shortly be available on DVD, so at least it won't disappear. But it should be seen as widely as possible, if not in theaters, at least on TV.

Perhaps a letter writing campaign to HBO or Showtime? Or to Here TV or to Logo? It would be a challenging movie for audiences, but the quality of the film alone should draw people to see the film. I also find it curious and sad that nearly all of my favorite gay-themed movies are European. It seems that the US film industry has great difficulty making this type of film, even with heterosexual themes.

Truly emotional and a Fantastic piece of artwork

Just saw this film at Outfest (The Los Angeles G & L film festival) and this film just totally blew me away. It was so gripping and full of emotional ups and downs that you just don't know if you can take any more. This film is a must see for anyone who's ever wanted to see and learn more about the gay holocaust and all of the torture and other cruel acts homosexuals had to endure under the hands of the Nazi's. Remarkable and I hope this film gets a theatrical release because it needs to be watch by everyone, gay or straight, so we may better be able to understand each other. It hard at times to watch, but with parental presence, I would suggest taking anyone in their late teens to seniors. This is a historical piece of gay cinema you cannot afford to take for granted.
