The story is almost unbelievable not because there couldn't be love stories between the Germans and French because there were at no surprise. But because it's hard to believe the much too obvious love affair could have been tolerated by the two enemy camps. Matthias S is devastating in his rendition as only him can be, I felt physically hurting the more the movie was going on towards its crushing end.. Michelle Williams is behind him, I can't figure out why it hasn't been cast a French actress,, say Berenice Bejo ( ok, she's not French :)) or someone else, dunno).
I didn't read the book but read a review, it seems the movie has got far from the book which I don't like. Or maybe we sould take it as a different story, one by itself and that's it.
Well done, Matthias S, always a pleasure to see you!
