stranger In any case, the Germans are more decent than your Russian comrades.
- Katya's right, Martha. If we get in touch with the Red Army and Hitler wins the war, then it will be bad for us.
Do you want to be on the winning side?
Nope! We just want to survive!
German cinema continues the main theme of the entire post-war history of the country - the theme of the elimination of the guilt complex during the existence of National Socialism. The film “Hore die Stille” by Sebastian Ed-Erenberg surprises with the novelty of the approach to “war cinema”.
A household story about the location of a group of German soldiers in a Soviet village of Russian Germans develops in the middle of the film into a tense thriller parable. And by its nature, it is more reminiscent of not “war stories with shootouts and exploits,” but modern popular survival science fiction films.
Who in this war is his own and who is a stranger? Red Army or Wehrmacht? How do women behave in the midst of young educated soldiers? Resistance or warm a woman's caress?
But man expects and God disposes. A man in war is powerless before the fateful course of circumstances. And he involuntarily has to act according to some unknown and incomprehensible scenario for him.
When the virus of total destruction and hatred infects everyone around, there will be no free peace-loving people left in the village. Only those who will be “devoted” from inside and outside will remain. The invisible monsters that war breeds and feeds.
The film crew quite decently and at a good cinematic level creates a viscous atmosphere of hopelessness and inevitably impending nightmare generated by the war.
My opinion is good.
