Lore - a German language film from Australian director Cate Shortland whose 2006 film Somersault was outstanding. This is a very powerful study of a young girl who comes to terms with her families involvement in the Holocaust as she leads her siblings across Germany following the internment of her father (an important Nazi official) and mother during the days after Hitlers defeat in Europe. More in my diary once I have had some sleep and time to reflect.
