Julia Jentsch certainly pulled off a very good performance and like hengcs I was impressed by Andr Hennicke.

As for the dvd, ICA/Drakes Avenue are hardly known for the high quality of their releases and this is no different, sure it's adequate but it could (in my eyes should) have been so much better.

Burnt in subtitles, stereo sound and zip in the way of extras. The picture quality is good but I don't know why they cant go the extra yard and produce a higher quality dvd. Extras could have included a look at the historical background, cast/crew interviews, making of doc or anything related to the film. Hopefully the US release will be better.

I wouldn't complain so much about vfm but their products are the same standard price as other companies that do provide a higher quality value for money product.

Cheers Trev.
