A Hidden Life (2019)
Written & directed by Terrence Malick this film based on a true story stars August Diehl and Valerie Pachner. An Austrian farmer refuses to swear loyalty to Adolf Hitler and is sent to prison.
Mixing the rural visuals of Days of Heaven (1978) with the poetic mood of The Thin Red Line (1998) this is classic Malick film making. Long and slow this is an intimate look at the life of two people without a whole lot of action. There are some great moments of humanity and beauty hidden in this tale of standing up for your principles against evil.
4/5
