Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Elsa I don't want to spoil the movie for future viewers. I'd just give several pieces of historical information to keep in mind before watching the film:During World War II, it wasn't an option to shut up and look German. Germany was notorious for keeping records of every person's family lineage for centuries. Changing your name was not a viable option to escape persecution.Excusing your not serving in the army with any type of disability equaled death, since there was a strict policy to execute people with disabilities.You couldn't bargain your way out of a concentration camp by offering money. All Jewish property was taken by Germany by law. If you happened to find an escape option, it wouldn't include a Nazi escort with fanfare.Hitler's ideology makes him highly unsuitable to sit and have a sophisticated dinner with a Jewish family. That's self-explanatory. The discipline and control among the Nazi soldiers was even higher than the control exercised over normal citizens. Please, remember this during the second half of the movie.Escaping as a Jew from Germany or any occupied territory was close to impossible. That why any survival stories are heart-wrenching and heroic. The person who wrote the script and directed the movie wanted a dramatic effect, but - it seems to me - was less interested in a historic research.I watched dozens of Holocaust movies and documentaries. I even watched a movie in which a girl opened the door of her home and was suddenly transported into the past of World War II. Even that movie had much more historical accuracy than this one. I find it insulting to treat such a serious and tragic subject with shallowness.

Kirpianuscus not the historical accuracy or the dramatic atmosphere define The Aryan Couple. but the good acting - Martin Landau is the first example - and the science to explore the Nazi system in different manner. a film about survive who has its own voice. a voice who could reminds others but who , too sentimental or unrealistic , at the first sigh, defines a world and a way to resist to its pressure. and that does it a decent film, against the too polite image of Nazi leaders, against the too optimistic perspective about the manner to escape . Jews, Nazi, the run and the danger. all in new light. that propose this interesting film. the same war story. another perspective. different by Train de vie or Schiendler list. but useful for the exploration of the same dark context.

jodie-43 My wife picked this up at the video store the other night. I am a WWII period movie junkie.I found the plot feasible, but unlikely. Himmler was too much of a controlling egomaniac to negotiate with a DIRTY JEW. He would have taken Krauzenberg Company and wealth and had him and his family killed. The actors playing the NAZI soldiers did a good job showing the cold disregard and hatred that Nazis had for anyone but their own.Martin Landau did a very good job playing Krauzenberg. He at least tried to have a German accent. Many of the other characters did not even attempt the accent, but instead sounded very British.As for the cinematography, it was very good. The editing is OK. The music is typical for this type of movie.The actor that played Himmler did a very good job with this role. It did help that he bore a striking resemblance to Himmler.Overall this is good period piece that reminds us of the events of the Nazis and JEWS during WWII.

sergeheyrman A very nice casting by good actors unfortunately they didn't speak German. I find it very hard to trow my self in to the movie knowing that a bunch of English actors with there Scottish accents are playing the part of a Fürher etc.But despite the fact the are English it was a very realistic movie with a flow of drama action and occasionally a bit of dark humor (not that I am a Nazi lover ore something).it's just a great family movie where you can think and talk about afterward and it stays in your head for a couple of days and you will probably have something like... hmm I am glad that i live int the 20 century A movie to watch or even to buy!
