A very strange project based on the true story of a couple who distributed anti-Nazi cards in Berlin, were caught, and executed.
Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson give subdued performances (especially hers), Daniel Brühl rather good as investigating detective.
Alexandre Desplat offers some good music and Christophe Beaucarne's widescreen photography of Görlitz and Brandenburg is elegant.
My own preference for the ending would have been that after the executions, a new card turns up... The resistance continues...
That's why it's odd - the resistance fails and that's the end. A bit of a downer, to be sure.
