    Well-crafted, well-acted but devastatingly emotional

    At the film festival where I saw this film, even jaded film veterans were unprepared for its emotional wallop. This is one of the few films dealing with gay persecution during the Nazi era. It works unflinchingly to ground the material in both a French and German Nazi context. Its brutal but honest portrayal tests the viewer's tolerance for the horrific. Yet this film manages to be subtle, nuanced and rich not only through its script, but also in its period depiction, and lastly, in its dramatic execution. Obviously a work of love, this film conveys much of what is worst and best of humanity set in 1942 during the upheaval of Nazi-occupied Paris.

    A Truly Amazing film

    I have just seen this film at the Out Takes film festival in Auckland. All I want to know is why there is so little information on the internet about this truly amazing film. It is a masterpiece that should be recognised world wide.

    A wonderful multi layered storyline,brilliant acting and production values far superior to most that regularly win awards. Profoundly moving, it will have you thinking for several days afterwords. Tragically, it seems destined to reaching only a tiny audience.

    I feel privileged to be apparently one of the few who will get the chance to see this truly remarkable film. I strongly recommend it to everyone, gay and straight.

    Already in my top 10 movies of all time.

    Drama doesn't get any better than this.

    I just saw this film at a festival screening with a packed audience that was completely overwhelmed. The direction and acting were fantastic, but it was the screenplay that really impressed everyone.

    It is one of those films that makes you feel so much emotion, in this case sadness and despair, that you wonder if you can handle it. Afterwards, I felt like a zombie because the feelings were so intense.

    This is not a light and happy film, but one that is so powerful and important to see. Because everyone needs to know that it was not just the Jews who were persecuted during the Nazi era. Homosexuals were rounded up, tortured and killed. You have to see it to understand.

    A must-see movie

    I caught this movie by accident when I was channel surfing one night on cable and happened to land on TV5. Although I don't speak anything other than basic French, the opening scene caught my attention and I ended up sitting through the whole film. It's a tribute to how good it is that even with basic French vocabulary, I was able to follow the story - and what a story it is. An absolute treasure of a film, and I am amazed it hasn't been more widely publicised or shown on mainstream TV over here in the UK. Not an easy film to watch as there are some very brutal scenes, but I recommend it highly. And I would definitely advise a box of tissues to be kept at hand - there are moments that will break your heart.

    The Short Review

    This film, while historically interesting and politically relevant, goes deeper than most message films. What is so fascinating is that so many things go on in this film besides suffering and Nazi hatred. It is, above all, the story of a family (and the family that is created).

    Yes, the Nazis' massacre of Jews and Gays is a huge part of this movie, but what sets it apart is the humanistic story of love, jealousy, acceptance, guilt and tragedy that is set WITHIN the central group of friends and family in the film. There are many small surprises, and the melodrama is really cut to a minimum. Some very wrenching scenes, for example, come and go before you can get a good cry in. To me, the true brilliance of the film lies in its ability to show rather than tell what horrors befell Europe during Hitler's reign.
