Carriage to Vienna, 1966 - ★★★★½

The performances in this film are completely haunting. The loss of humanity on display rivals “Lord of the Flies”, its redemption and then final loss is devastating.

“We’re not Nazis after all” right? The idea that it can’t happen here (or anywhere) for that matter - is belied by our essential humanity. We are capable of great evil and great love. The act and the impact on our fellow people are all that matter.
