Plot
The night before the liberation of Paris.
Sinekatalog’s take
Volker Schlöndorff's chamber drama has a Swedish consul persuading the German general not to destroy Paris. André Dussollier and Niels Arestrup are superb in a talky, tense night-before-liberation duel.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
