Synopsis

In the last moments of World War II, a 19 year old private, ragged and starving, steals a captain’s uniform. Impersonating an officer he gathers a group of deserters and proceeds to kill and plunder his way through a beaten Nazi Germany.

MUBI's take

Hollywood blockbuster helmer Robert Schwentke returned to his native Germany for this chilling wartime biopic. Shot in stark black-and-white with bold, surreal flourishes, the film follows a teenage soldier’s shockingly quick journey from self-preservation to sociopathy with harrowing insight.
