38: Auch Das War Wien (1986)


The tone of this WWII movie feels really off. Like, it's supposed to be quite suspenseful, and the plot tells us it is, but the director doesn't manage communicating that with us, so things happen that are very dangerous, but they just never feel dangerous. 38: Vienna Before the Fall is interesting as a portrait of theatre people in Austria right before the German invasion, but that's about it.

This movie was very difficult to find. I had to purchase a bootleg.
