Encuentra solo a su hijo Georg, un jubilado vividor que se ha distanciado del pasado de su padre.

I watched the film as an impartial viewer, and I must say that I quite enjoyed its form. There could have been fewer scenic rides through the Slovak countryside, though.

Estoy bastante enojado cuando me doy cuenta de que esta película tiene varias nominaciones para el León Checo y los Sonrisas de Hombres Tristes ¡nada de nada! No puedo creer que los académicos sean tan serios - ¿Menzel por los méritos? Pero a él no le dieron una nominación. Temáticamente agotado, o más bien repetido hasta la saciedad. Una road movie sobre dos personas diferentes, la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sus consecuencias... Personalmente, prefiero las historias agridulces, pero aquí después de visitar los baños termales deja de funcionar y la trama se sumerge en el aburrimiento gris. La calificación la eleva una excelente cámara, una adorable combinación de eslovaco y alemán, y una actuación sorprendentemente bien interpretada por parte del elenco principal.

The topic is extremely interesting in this case. The stigmas of the war are the main theme, and the story revolves around the son of a former SS man and a Slovak Jew, whose family was murdered by none other than this SS man. In terms of casting, it’s a Central European delicacy. Messrs. Menzel and Simonischek were an absolutely perfect choice. However, it is a pity that the film lacks more distinct dialogues. It features scenes that make you not only wonder about the absurdity of the situation, but also about the satisfaction Menzel’s characters feels. Considering its topic, however, it remains a very classical road movie, where I could imagine some venomous dialogues that would make me bate my breath. As it is, however, it seems as though someone is taking their last breath. Given the interesting topic, there are a precious few scenes worthy of remembering.

You can never have enough films about the Slovak state, and this one is particularly charming. There will always be a bitter-sweetness associated with the passing of Herz and Labuda and the acting of Menzel. Thank you for the experience.

Certainly an interesting subject, which undoubtedly deserved a bit more creative treatment or at least punchier dialogues. From an acting perspective, I have practically nothing to criticize, the shots of the Slovak landscape are quite nice, and the musical accompaniment is appropriate to the theme. However, that doesn't change the fact that I found myself somewhat bored by this reminiscence road movie until the not-very-satisfying ending.
