A travers la dramatique histoire d'un couple d'homosexuels, évocation de la ségrégation et du martyre de ces derniers pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui bien souvent préféraient se faire passer pour juifs, plutôt que de porter le triangle rose réservé aux homosexuels.
- Charles London20 mai 2025The forgotten victims of the Holocaust, the "pink triangles", are the main characters in this movie that is basically a 3-act screenplay. In the first act, we get the flavor of Berlin in 1934, just before and after the Night of the Long Knives. Here, Mick Jaggar is brilliantly cast as a transvestite performer. The second (and best) act takes place on a train to Dachau. It is raw and intense. The third act, the concentration camp, evokes empathy but, at times, borderlines on tedium. The flow of the film becomes disrupted by protracted scenes of rock moving, a cruel and unusual form of punishment designed to torture and humiliate homosexual prisoners. Had these scenes been more tidy, perhaps the movie would have been stronger down the stretch. Instead, it peaks in the middle. Although imperfect, this mostly watchable film puts an important spotlight on Hitler's "other" diabolic obsession. I never get mad at a good history lesson.
