Counterfeiters, The
aka: Die Fälscher
Germany 2007, 98 minutes
Dir. Stefan Ruzowitzky
In German with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Suspense / War
Feat. Karl Markovics, Devid Striesow
Aroview: An Oscar-winner for Best Foreign Language film, this taut German thriller reconstructs the story of a Jewish fraudster forced to assist the Nazis by forging currency from within the confines of a concentration camp.
The compounded intrigue of the fact-based story and the German viewpoint, coupled with a uniform excellence across the production, keeps this entertaining throughout, with the more unsavoury aspects of Nazi oppression subtlely confined to the periphery. After DOWNFALL and THE LIVES OF OTHERS, this marks a confident new German wave that is turning the demons of its historical past into vital cinema that strongly connects with a wide international audience.

0 star (Not rated) This movie is very well rounded in its coverage of humanity ethics and faith while retelling the story, it left a deep impression on my mind at its conclusion ~Tiberius
2 stars (Good Try) Typical academy award winner - shallow and not challenging enough. ~tubbs
