Review of Alone in Berlin

That's what this film shows us, as nazi fanaticism takes over Germany and people respond according to their values and courage.

It also showed that fanaticism isn't the only evil in society. A neighbour ransacks the Jewish woman's flat, denounces his neighbours to the police and even steals the bracelet off the wrist of the woman's body.

Emma Thompson and Brendan Gleason give the sort of performances we have come to expect from such masters of the trade.
