Brilliant casting, setting and directing creates a very interesting story and gives a unique look to the 1960s Germany. Watch out especially for Voight who gives his best performance so far. Max Schell is equally good as the sinister war criminal Roschmann (based on a real character) unfortunately Frau Miller and Roschmann never meet during the film, it would have been interesting to see Max Schell and his sister Maria Schell exchange a few dialogues.
