Lída Baarová

Like others here I don't understand the low reviews. The movie is subtitled, and sometimes people rate lower for that. I thought it was well paced and acted. I like WWII films; this is a good one.

Many of the one star reviews I've seen complain about Hitler and Goebbels speaking Czech, the language it was originally filmed in.

German is my second language, so initially abandoned watching this until someone pointed out Netflix offers a dubbed version. When I rewatched it in German, it was brilliant.

it's a conflicted story (how could anyone sleep with the Nazi's top propagandist?) which makes it interesting.

I highly recommend this film. It is the life story of Lída Baarová, a 1930s Czech actress who became a minor star in Germany and had an affair with psycho Nazi Joseph Goebbels.

Like most biographies, it has a lot of inaccuracies and a messed up timeline but most importantly it has good camp value. First the love scene is so bad you will laugh out loud, the cat fight scene with Goebbel's wife (I doubt that ever happened) and the scene with Goebbels crying like a baby after Hitler yelled at him.

Beautiful costumes, locales and photography and most importantly, unintentional laughs.

First of all, I just can't understand the 5.8 star rating of this movie. In my opinion it should be considerably more. The movie is very intriguing & captivating. You can't finish it until you see what happens next, and then after that. In my opinion - the movie kind of has everything. The movie is a deep depiction of how life and human relationships are not always so black and white. They can take very unexpected turns in many ways and lead you to very unexpected situations. It tells about achieving a huge success and it tells about losing practically everything. It tells about how situations can change very quickly & unexpectedly, one way or another. And not least importantly, it paints once again a very truthful picture of the unspeakable, horrendous, murderous hatred of the Nazis towards Jews - something we must never forget about.

A young actress from Czechoslovakia falls in love with Joseph Goebbles and becomes famous in Nazi Germany. Her career and relationship start well but end terrible. The movie portrayed a different and fresh angle on the time period; i.e. it did not center on the struggle of the Jews.
