In German. 144 minute running time, which I’d normally say is about 44 minutes too long, but this movie was amazing, wow, I loved it … pre-World War I Germany … the sickness, the repression, the cruelty of life in a small village, all foreshadowing the coming horrors of the 20th century … this was a tour de force, recommended, green-go! I think I have John Farr to thank for this reco, who wrote: “A masterpiece in a minor key.” Wrong, there’s nothing minor about this masterpiece. I see now that it won the Palm D’Or, much deserved.

FOR I THE LORD YOUR GOD AM A JEALOUS GOD, VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN TO THE THIRD AND THE FOURTH GENERATION OF THOSE WHO HATE ME.

I’m sick and tired of persecutions, threats and perverse acts of revenge.
