Review of A Hidden Life (2019) by Ginak — 26 Dec 2019
A beautifully elegiac film by Terence Malick about Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian peasant farmer who would not fight for the Nazis in World War II, even when he faced execution for his refusal. The pacing is perfect as the film moves from the beautiful countryside where Jägerstätter lived before the Nazis came to conscript him into their army to the narrow prison where he dies because he refuses to fight for them.
Malick has created a horrifying and emotionally unforgettable film.
