| I saw it and had pretty much exactly the same reaction to it as you have - that it was interesting, not as clever as it thought it was, vaguely sexually titilating and scarily entertaining. The weakest part of it for me (as a film) was that there seemed to be no ending. It was a question of escalation only - I was desperate for some kind of denouement, some kind of dramatic conclusion, confrontation, ideological battle, revelation about the various parties, twist, etc. But instead all they could think of to do was to up the tension with more violence... Which wasn't disasterous, but kept the whole film at a slightly lower level than it could have achieved. |

. The fact that it's set in Germany adds another dimension, the ever-present spectre of Nazism - although I don't think anyone actually calls anyone else a Nazi until quite near the end. Worth seeing.
