With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for spy-story fans and politics junkies. Nobody is quite who they seem. Same wavelength as Belfast or Judgment at Nuremberg. Power and ambition drive every scene.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 2 hr.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Not an easy decision! District Administrator Hans Schuierer from the Upper Palatinate first opposed his own political line in 1981 and finally against the entire Bavarian Free State and Prime Minister Strauss. Because the planned reprocessing plant Wackersdorf promised 3,000 new jobs for the structurally weak region - but what if these are associated with massive health and ecological damage for future generations? Isn't it then the duty of a politician and citizen to resist?
