Lore (2012)
Directed by Cate
Shortland this film based on a story from the book “The Dark Room”
stars Saskia Rosendahl, Kai Malina and Nele Trebs. In the days after
the end of WW2 the eldest daughter of an SS officer leads her younger
siblings across Germany to try to get to their grandmother in
Hamburg.
The plot of this film
is about the clash between the Nazi ideology the protagonist was
raised with in and the defeated Germany she finds herself in. It
seems there are some deviations between the film and it's source
material but this is still a strong story reminiscent of Germany,
Year Zero (1948). Directed in a very slow and withdrawn style I found
this to be a really enjoyable film that really captures the mood of
it's characters.
4/5
