Germans really know how to make a good film. This movie is sad and intense, without being manipulative. It's about talented Jews who are given jobs as counterfeiters at a concentration camp, and thus, treated well (in comparison with untalented Jews). It's all about morals and integrity and which is worse--death or losing one's dignity? Very interesting and very well done.

One of 2007's Oscar nominated foreign films tells the story of a man who's a brilliant counterfeiter captured by the Nazi's and thrown into a concentration camp. There he is paired with numerous other experts, some criminal and some legit, who are forced to work together to first successfully create the pound and then eventually the dollar. Several perspectives are examined as some do as they're told to stay alive, others sabotage the effort in an attempt to thrwart the Nazi's. A good foreign film, but as Holocaust films go, it's pretty heavy at times.
