Lore
Australian director Cate Shortland's Somersault not only launched her own career, but that of Abbie Cornish, and it looks like Lore will do the same for Saskia Rosendahl, who plays the teenage daughter of dedicated Nazis: an SS officer and his wife. The picture departs from other Holocaust dramas by telling its story from the teenager's point of view. It's the end of World War II and the allied forces are sweeping through Germany. When her father is arrested, and her mother gives herself up to the American army after hearing the news of Hitler's suicide, Rosendahl, a (very) good German raised in the Hitlerjugend, embarks with her four younger siblings in tow on a dangerous journey through the forest to their grandmother's house in Hamburg. (Lore resembles a cross between Little Red Riding Hood and The White Ribbon.) They are first stalked, and then helped, surprisingly, by a young man who carries a yellow star in his papers, forcing Rosendahl to come to terms with her fierce anti-Semitism and the crimes her parents committed in the service of the Third Reich.
