A Love in Germany Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Larry Kart
If the film wants to paint Paulina and Stani as two truly noble souls and make their mutual fate serve as an indictment of Nazidom`s utmost evil, shouldn't they have something more going for them than a simple desire to hit the sheets?
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Wajda, who has turned out some of cinema's most provocative political statements, does so again here. The politics tend to obscure the love story, but this is undoubtedly what Wajda intended.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
While you know it's all going to turn out rather badly, you can't help but be seduced by star Hanna Schygulla.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
[Schygulla] gives what must be called a triumphant performance, one that ranks with the best of her work with Fassbinder, in a film that must be the most romantic ever made by Mr. Wajda.
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
Why great directors occasionally deliver an outrageous clunker is anyone's guess, but here's another one for the books -- A Love in Germany, Andrzej Wajda's meditation on the banality of evil, with the emphasis on banality.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
A Love in Germany reveals Schygulla as a superb, fearless actress and an international star ready to take Hollywood.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The lovers are so moronic (they don't take the slightest precaution against being detected) that sympathy wanes fairly quickly, and the clumsiness of the mise-en-scene takes care of the rest.
Boston Phoenix
Gregory Solman
Wajda's lovers are arrogantly inarticulate, neither beautiful nor expressive. And their relationship is completely tangential to the findings of his modern investigators.
Bay Area Reporter
Michael Lasky
A Love In Germany is a provocative film which captures the ruthlessness of propaganda and the ease with which it can sway people's minds and create an inhumane tyranny of the human spirit.
Sojourner
Susan Shapiro
Hanna Shygulla's "great passion" for her Polish prisoner-of-war lover in Nazi Germany is totally unbelievable.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Candice Russell
A Love in Germany is Wajda's penetrating commentary on the toll paid by individuals in any country that tries to dictate private morality.
Santa Cruz Sentinel
J.A. Conner
A Love in Germany is a maudlin mess of a movie that infuriates when it should fascinate, an artless attempt at high drama and political relevance that stumbles and fails at every turn.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Directed by Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda with a rather heavy touch leavened by strokes of nightmarish humor.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Affirms the power of love in the face of death.
