I saw it as history teacher and as admirer of Fritz Lang. I admired the acting and the white and black , the small details, the atmosphere.

But , in same measure, I was not impressed by story - an old recipe of clash- and by dialogue.

Sure, noble ideas but too didacticist use of them. The moral is to agressive imposed. The last lines are so predictable if you know the biography of Fritz Lang.

Fritz Lang in a sort of visit to. Joseph Goebbels. The proposition of the last. The presence of. Gerda Maurus.

I saw the first scenes with hope of enthusiasm. I was not dissapointed but , maybe as result of totalitarian slice of my life, I saw the story / dialogue as too...naif. In same measure, something is missing and it is too much.

But, sure, the fine work of actors is the matters one.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
