CRITICAL – In season 2 of the German series event, the convictions and loyalties of the soldiers of the Reich are increasingly fractured. Decryption with one of its stars, the Francophile actor Stefan Konarske.
Bold tackle a classic submarine and war film. With her first polyglot season in which the Luxembourg actress shone and revelation of Phantom Thread Vicky Krieps, the German event series The boat had amazed us last summer. From Wolfgang Petersen’s cinematographic camera, she kept the daily life of a U-Boat on a mission, in the midst of the escalation of the Battle of the Atlantic, and widened her focus on the fates of the Nazi soldiers stationed in the port of occupied La Rochelle. .
On land, as at sea, compromises, disillusions, temptations, the wait-and-see attitude are the lot of everyone: from civilians to low-ranking officers through to the Gestapo oils. A radio officer discovered that he was the father of a little girl born from an affair with a young Jewess; his sister, secretary of the SS in charge of the city of Charente-Maritime, fell in love with a resistant; an overly cautious submarine commander fell victim to the mutiny of his men.
Sumptuous and epic
