The particularly beautiful cinematography is by far the most striking aspect of this film, which in terms of story does not rise above the level of an average regional novel. I find the rushed ending a joke.
Similar films as L'Albero degli Zoccoli (1978) and Pelle Erobreren (1987) appeal to me much more.

That this film shows the origin of a WWII generation feels a bit far-fetched, even though Haneke has confirmed it herself.
On the contrary, I saw it more as a modern look at the time and mores of über-folkloristic (Northern) Germany from the literary novels of Mann and Storm, for example. Interspersed with the director's hobbyhorses.
And in that sense extremely successful.
