Die Fälscher (The Counterfeiters) 8/10
It's the German film that won best foreign film at the Academy Awards in 2007. It's about Jews during WWII that were forced by the Nazis to make counterfeit British and American currency. Films about the holocaust seem to be overrepresented among Academy best foreign film nominees and winners. I enjoyed the film. The lead actor, Karl Markovics, was interesting as a criminal/victim/survivor. The film's tone was very different from many other holocaust films I have seen. I didn't like ending. (I don't like the endings of most films and books).
