Despite all the awards and accolades this movie has gotten the only redeeming value for me was when it ended after 2 hours. Being a gay man I have seen LGBTQ movies in most film festivals globally and this one was the worse to date.
Liberation by the Allies does not mean freedom for all until Paragraph 175 of the penal code is lifted. Over the decades, the 2 leading men develop an unlikely bond which starts as revulsion but grows into affection. Their daily routines are tedious as would be expected in prison but the repetitiveness takes too much film time becoming boring. I will not spoil the ending but it sure does not give gay men much hope if they are newbies in the gay world.
