This is one of the best films in the genre–historial film from autobiography. Marco Hofschneider brings to gleaming life the epic of Salamon Perel, a German Jew. From the days of Kristallnacht–the Night of Broken Glass, when Jewish businesses were trashed and vandalized throughout Germany, to his final reunification with his brother–to poignant to say more about this here…this is a cinematic masterpiece.
I’ve seen few films that take the turmoil of adolescent identity and identification so well. Correct, the Nazi era is the backdrop, but the themes couldn’t be more universal. In that respect, it is also more relevant today, in 2004, than during the 1980s, when it was filmed–especially in America, where the American identity has been deconstructed so as to be hardly palpable. Also, it is equally relevant in Europe, where national distinctions could meld into a Confederacy if not a Union of some power.
Politics aside, this is an intensely personal film, one where the unquestioned identity of youth (German) falls victim to oncoming War and cruel happenstance. Perel must continually revise his vision OF himself and FOR himself, and at one point wishes for nothing more than to be an Nazi, for a pretty young German girl becomes enfatuated with him. How did he demolish up in this situation, wearing the uniform of the Hitler Youth at an Elite boarding school in Berlin? Or lose his virginity to a high-ranking female Party member while he is escorted by inform from the Eastern Front to Berlin, as a Folk Hero (Volksdeutscher Held) . Perhaps you mediate it unimaginable. I do not.

I’ve seen places in German where the remnants of Jewish culture and tradition are positive as day–such as a obsolete High School for Jews in Berlin–with Hebrew and German inscribed clearly in the stones.
No, though Germany seems to some a heartless pillar of unemotionality, efficiency, heartlessness, the German characters in Europa, Europa are as human as those found anywhere. They drop victim to their personal aspirations, desire to please, deceitfulness, betrayal…simply set aside, human.
Although new fashion is to believe of the period as one of the “banality of contaminated” (attributed to Hannah Arendt, Holocaust scholar), this film exposes the period as one more of human triumph and tragedy, and that, while we grow into adulthood, our personal identity is as worthy at the mercy of the passage of time and events as a fresh, solitary construction.

See this film! It will blueprint you into the themes of Life, Worship, and Redemption, and be over leaving you desperate for more.
I was introduced to this film in my German class, although I had view to check it out years before after seeing it recommended in Seventeen Magazine. Since then I have seen it more times than I can count because I always ruin up telling my friends to witness it, and then we kill up watching it together because I don’t want anyone to lose it (and I do loan out all my other videos) .
This is a Fair chronicle of astonishing luck (so astonishing as to be quite incredible) and pluck through a very shaded time in history. If it weren’t for so many coincidences, Solomon Perel would not be around to dispute his improbable myth.
You might contemplate Julie Delpy (who plays Leni, the Nazi girlfriend) from French flims such as “White” and American films such as “Before Sunrise” and “An American Werewolf in Paris”. She does a stunning job here, as does the graceful young Marco Hofschneider in his role as Solly. (What other films is he in and where can I rep them?, I sometimes ask myself…)
If you are trying to learn German, examine it first with the subtitles, and then on the second viewing, try taping some paper over the subtitles on your tv cover (of course you should steal the paper off during the section in Russian, unless of course you also happen to be studying Russian) . If you are at least an intermediate German student, you will procure a lot from such a viewing. The language is clearly spoken, and not overly difficult. I have done this several times myself, and have found it incredibly reliable.
There are a couple of scenes that may be offensive to sensitive people, and if you judge of showing it in an American classroom, those are the parts you’ll be forced to snappy forward… (my German teacher found this out the hard intention, but fortunatly there were only 4 of us in the class, and none of us complained) .
Overall, very highly recommended!
