A recurring motif is that of the innocence of animals with the dark heart of humanity, here personified by, of course, the Nazis in general and Daniel Brühl’s Lutz Heck in particular. The film provides some striking and surreal imagery - a wallaby bouncing down a decimated street, for example - yet over the two-hour plus running time, such blunt contrasts become distancing rather than engaging.
