Film this Thursday 25th October | Oct 22nd 2007
NUFS will be meeting in the Filmhouse Bar this Thursday (25th) from 7.30pm, then going to see The Counterfeiters at 8.45pm. Tickets are £3 for members.
Film Description: “A devastatingly effective wartime thriller, based upon real events. In 1936, the Nazis established the largest counterfeiting operation in history, with the intention of flooding the British and American economies with fake currency. Enlisted to assist were any concentration camp inmates with skills in the right department – among them master forger, gambler and playboy Salomon Sorowitsch. Wonderfully played here by Karl Markovics, ‘Sally’ is a charismatic rogue who is at first energised by his new task (and by the superior quarters and treatment that his status affords him). But as the war grinds on, the moral frailty of Sally’s position becomes more and more apparent, and he must choose which side he’s on. Absolutely gripping, and crackling with class and intelligence, this is an instant classic – and a must for anyone who loved The Lives of Others. German soundtrack with English Subs.”
