- Synopsis:
- In the cold Berlin winter of 1942, hundreds of women stood, and waited, in defiance of the Nazis. While countless Jews were being sent to concentration camps for execution, Jewish husbands of Aryan wives suffered a different fate; they were separated from their families and imprisoned in a factory on a street named Rosenstrasse. On that street the women stood in protest, in the name of love until they were reunited with their men. This is the striking story of Rosentrasse: where the power of human will stands inconquerable for hope, dignity and love.

Overlong, Confused German Film with Dodgy Subtitles - Rosenstrasse review by PV
Firstly, I'd like to say the usual subtitle selection did not work on the disc - I had then to work out how to go into the DVD player options to choose subtitles, which meant i watched the whole thing in Italian with English subtitles as I did not select GERMAN as audio. be warned.
This is directed by the foremost female German film director. Fine. But it backs focus and so, despite come decent scenes, is not memorable as characters are often confused as is the plot.
It is not bad, but there are far better films about WWII and Jews in Germany than this.
3 stars. Just
