Plot: The night of August 24, 1944. The fate of Paris is in the hands of General von Choltitz, governor of Grand Paris, who is preparing, on Hitler’s orders, to blow up the French capital. The descendent of a long line of Prussian military men, the general has never had any hesitation when it came to obeying orders. This is what’s on Swedish consul Raoul Nordling’s mind as he takes the secret staircase that leads to General von Choltitz’s suite at the Hôtel Meurice.

Armed with all the weapons of diplomacy, the consul will try to convince the general not to follow Hitler’s order of destruction.

I enjoyed it very much!
I enjoyed this film very much! First of all it is a very interesting recreation of a stage play into a film. Plot is interesting well enough since the subject is of a great interest to the general public, one night in August of 1944 when general in command of Paris had to decide should he follow Hitlers orders and blow up Paris or to surrender without doing it. He made good decision, we should be grateful that he had piece of sanity left not to blindly follow those orders.Acting is excellent by both principal actors, and other actors as well.
If you are a World War II buff this is a must see for you, but I strongly recommend that you see this film anyways, because it is just short of a masterpiece.
very much enjoyed this brilliant film
as i watched this film i also remembered the film “Is Paris Burning”. Brilliant acting by two of the main actors. excellent cinematography and background score. Paris looks devastatingly beautiful from the balcony of the hotel they were staying. i very much would like to know the name of the singer and the name of the song as the credits roll at the end of the movie. this movie is not for everyone unfortunately. people who like the current crop of American films will definitely find this slow and boring. i have always enjoyed french and German films. it is great that Volker Schlöndorff is still making meaningful cinema, and we are so lucky. This must have been a very successful play and clever adaptation of the play is well appreciated. i simply wonder if the Swedish governor kept his word and helped the general’s wife and children escape to Switzerland. at the end when he looks at the ring i wondered what he was thinking. hard to say. i really wish he kept his word.
