Polish War Drama beded upon a Novel by Leopold TYRMAND

In 1961, the Polish author Leopold TYRMAND (1920-1985) published the semi-biographical novel "FILIP", which was recently finally translated into German by the Frankfurter Verlagsanstalt. Since Polish cinema has been on the rise for some time, it was only a matter of time before this extraordinary book was made into a film for the cinema.With the last of his strength, the Polish Jew Filip (Eryk KULM) is able to escape the unbelievable murders in the Warsaw Ghetto. And what does this young man do, struggling to survive? Using false information, he went to Nazi Germany as a forced laborer. There he works as a waitress in a luxury hotel in Frankfurt am Main. What madness! Together with his friend Pierre (Victor MEUTELET), the attractive Filip doesn't let anything go wrong. The young men also offer sexual services for starving German women. On the contrary! Somehow Filip sees his attractive coldness towards the female sex as his personal revenge for the injustice he has suffered. He finds a like-minded person in the beautiful Blanka (EUROVISION star Zoe STRAUB). His dullness is only put to the test when he meets the young German Lisa (Caroline HARTIG). Soon the first bombs will fall on Frankfurt am Main...This film impresses with its brilliant change of perspective. A Polish Jew puts himself in great danger in order to survive. This means you can finally see Nazi-era Germany from the perspective of people who knew how to use the system to their advantage in order to survive. The film was shot in Torun, Poland, which still bears a lot of resemblance to a city from the 1940s. The film can now find a worldwide audience on NETFLIX. You should definitely watch it in the original, where German, Yiddish and Polish are spoken.The appearance of the Austrian actress and singer Zoe STRAUB is particularly beautiful. At the EUROVISION Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm, she competed for her home country Austria and achieved an excellent eighth place in the televoting. Zoe STRAUB is now a successful actress.Very worth seeing film!

At Last A Recent war film I enjoyed

As A fan of war films, especially WW2, I sat down and gave this one a go, so glad I did.This was a great story, always rooting for Filip against the evil Nazi regime.Good solid film, with an excellent cast who all really dragged you into the movie until the last second.WW2 movies years ago, there was a long list of really great movies, one after the other, some fiction and some True stories, but lately it's been slightly disappointing, so this hidden gem was a real delight.It does have subtitles, but that doesn't bother me at all, but if you're not a fan of them. Just try and steer your way through.Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

I was going to abandon watching it after the propaganda-style beginning, but I'm glad I continued watching, as all the remaining part of the movie was unexpectedly original and devoid of clichés. The naked bodies and the love / sex scenes are beautifully filmed. The main actor does a terrific job, showing a very wide range of feelings, from ironical debonair nonchalance to despair beyond tears. The entire cast is quite good, the cinematography recreates a believable atmosphere of the years in which the German people were beginning to realise they were going to lose the war, in spite of all the methodical atrocities they perpetrated or merely witnessed. Quite an unexpected ending...
