The best Tv Movie I’ve ever seen!
This movie is very very upper than I expected. Extraordinary realistic acting performances and wonderful scenes make the movie place among the best auswitsch movies.It is too unfortunate that I was unaware about this movie since, I think, it was shot as a Tv movie and didn’t released in my country, before.
Obligation of prisoned women to perform music in SS camps (for killers) provides what a convenient tension for the cinema and it’s how sorrowful to know that all pictured scenes are really happened events.
I can surely express that this movie’s magnificence underlies in not only its touching to true happenings of real victims but also its cinematographic power on narration.
