DER HAUPTMANN (THE CAPTAIN)
Watchable. My first impression of poor acting and make-up where blood is visibly fake quickly gave way to the shock at the brutality which in turn altered into incomprehension of the idea behind the bizarre story - incredible but based on facts! Black and white cinematography doesn't make the plot black and white at all. I wondered how easily he became a more callous oppressor than the ones he was first running from - in the movie only, since in real life, as far as I'm aware, Willi Herold never had to run, he just separated from his unit and embarked on a killing spree. The fact of having been or not having been a victim himself makes a world of difference here.
Amondo cinema is tiny but has excellent picture quality and impressively surround sound in both screening rooms.
