This refers to the 180 min. cut of "Entrusted", aired by German TV (ARD). It is a kind of movie you find yourself shaking your head frequently. The persona of Maria von Gall, not-this-world's beauty, noble underground partisan and financer, survival-stylish mother of the cute genius, later going hysterical...mentioned before, but again: this is MTV clip level. Brandauer is Brandauer, maybe he happens to being asked to delivering a different meal sometime, which I would appreciate. Obviously SS-officers in vichy-France used to shave themselves in beautiful white chalkstone quarries, where they did interrogations and torture as well..you didn't know that? Now you can tell. Another funny one: Claire leaves cute Thomas dans la rue to take revenge in the open place they're poking at on the SS-officer who killed her parents, with the advice that he could cross the place afterwards. 'Blam' she does with the gun and almost instantaneously the place, crowded with SS-men and Jewish men and women up to the moment, is abandoned and brave little Thomas crosses it with the bicycle (reengadeeng). No time stretching chiffre, no nothing. Silly, really. It's not just this but several sorts of mistakes, plot holes, incomplete and artificial story aspects and characters. In German we know the expression - I try to translate - pulled about by the hair (An den Haaren herbeigezogen) which goes for the story in total. With the suspicion left, that these "niggles" were to be subordinated under "beautiful pictures, shot by a beautiful name" I am impressed by the subterranean quality of the story told.
