Its a review about this product
I saw this when it aired on HBO, after hearing the rave reviews some friends gave it. The film is exceptionally well-made, with precise attention to every little detail. You almost feel like you're there in 1942.The performances all around are simply superb, most especially from Kenneth Branaugh, who once again establishes a strong screen presence. He's just a joy to watch.What's great about this film is the creepy sense it gives you watching it. This is a meeting that actually took place in 1942.. while there are no doubt a few of the usual Hollywood refinements, this is all-around a true story. Considering the subject matter.. It's a little spooky to see these fifteen men sitting around a table discussing a chain of events that would scar history forever, in such a lackadaisical way, as though they were discussing the weather over a cup of tea.Because of it's true-to-life subject matter, this could almost be viewed as an educational film, and I intend to show this to my children as part of their education concerning the German atrocities committed during WWII. "Never Again", as the plague before the walls of Auschwitz states.But all around, this is a must-see. Rent it if you can, buy it for your collection, or catch it the next time HBO airs it. You'll definitely want to see this one. You'll remember it.
