Paragraph 175

Very maternally uninspired.

This powerful documentary about the persecution and internment of gay men under the Third Reich features a handful of interviews with the few survivors from that time. Spliced together with interesting archival footage and expressionistic interludes (less successful) it recovers a neglected history and subtextually issues a timely warning about the rhetoric of right-wing nutballs we hear from regularly on the US news.

A fascinating topic that could have been much more interesting

Interesting idea but somehow not that compelling or edifying
