Nicole Berger, Gert Froebe. The setting of this provocative, vividly dramatic
anti-war drama is World War I, and Maximilian Schell stars as Alexander Haller,
a soulful, idealistic German lieutenant and former medical student. Haller,
the son of a pompous major-general, has been wizened by the time he has spent
at the front line. While in a small Belgian village located near the front,
he becomes obsessed with a pretty, chaste barmaid named Angeline, who is quite
vocal in her dislike for all German soldiers. Later on, while on leave, Haller
revisits the village, now safely in German-held territory. Their relationship
soon blossoms into love, leading to a variety of complications. Ultimately,
the film is an uncompromising examination of the futility and insanity of war,

The Great DictatorPL 3008
1940, 128 min., b&w - With Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin plays two totally
opposite roles in his first "talkie," giving a superb display of his
boundless talent for both inspired comedy and powerful drama. One of his masterfully
drawn characters is a Jewish barber facing the constant threat of storm troopers
and religious persecution. The other is the great dictator, Hynkel, a brilliant
lampoon of Adolph Hitler that is awesome proof of Chaplin's pantomime genius.
The movie's famous highlight comes in its final scene, when Chaplin steps out
of character and addresses the camera with an eloquent plea for the triumph
of reason and humanity over mindless militarism. This speech is so moving that
Chaplin was later asked to repeat it on national radio, and the film itself
was voted one of the year's Ten Best by The New York Times. In English language.

release, the most expensive production ever done in Europe. The story takes
place in the 21st Century, in a large city autocratically run by a "super
trustee" and his collaborators who live in a paradise-like garden. Workers
are totally enslaved by machines and condemned to live underground. In the midst
of this misery, a young woman - Maria - arises, who attempts to inspire the
workers to throw off their oppressors. The film was said to have been inspired
by the nocturnal skyline of New York City when seen from the sea. It has immense
visual and narrative power and many sequences have become famous; the opening
scenes introducing the city, the suspended garden, Moloch - the infernal machine
which controls the entire city, and the movement of masses of workers against
the abstract monumental sets. "Metropolis" so impressed Hitler, that,
when he came to power, he had Goebbels approach Lang about making films for
the Nazis. Lang is said to have fled the country overnight. VHS In English language.
