The critical response to this film was very negative, and although i haven`t seen the film from what I`ve read heard and seen of it, it falls in the trap of falling victim to Nazi esthetics when it actualy tried to denounce them.
More of a mainstream movie though it wasn`t successful in theaters in Germany. 
But maybe the critics are wrong and the film is worth watching. But don`t count on me, i won`t give it a try.

As for good recent German films, I don`t know any at the moment, I can only strongly advise you to keep away from the film "Allein" by Thomas Durchschlag, which is a horrible mess, although it garnered some awards and positive reviews.
If you`re interested in good German films, I`ll soon start a thread on new german films (of the past 10 years) where I`ll review some great films.
