An exquisite and powerful documentary -- one whose elegance only heightens its devastating impact.
At once admirable and deeply unsettling.
Perhaps the most disturbing fact in the film comes in the text at the end: Paragraph 175 remained on the books in both halves of postwar Germany until the late 1960s.
Illuminating, poignant and heartening.
Explores the comparatively enlightened Berlin culture that had allowed homosexuality to flourish in intellectual and social circles before the Nazis forcibly changed the national mind-set.
Evokes feelings of fascination and heartbreak, as well as a sense of disbelief.
