Brief movie capsules:
Rosenstrasse explores a critical event in the Nazi era that for years was barely known: In February 1943, the Gestapo in Berlin rounded up the Jewish husbands of Christian women, intending to deport them to the deathcamps in the East. In one of the very few incidents of active resistance in Nazi Germany, women heroically protested outside the prison and won the release of their husbands.
The Other Woman offers a fascinating look at the parallels between personal and political deceit. An East German Romeo is sent to the West to recruit women as spies. Three women are fatally bound to this system of treason.
