Review of Alone in Berlin (2016) by Orly B — 27 Jan 2017
A beautiful gesture to the human free spirit that is able to connect to courage and resistance even under the most terrible and frightening circumstances. Hans Fallada's book receives full recognition allowing even those for whom books are less accessible to learn this important historical true story.
Let's hope that even if postcards made little impact during second world war Germany, the movie will have a more powerful impact in our own time encouraging less obedience and more manifestations of critical thought.
And of course Emma Thompson is excellent as always.
