Movie Reviews of Colonel Redl
Movie Review: Good Film, But Slow Moving
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this to be an excellent, well-done foriegn film about military life around the turn of the last century in Austria-Hungary, but it is a slow moving film that undoubtedly requires several viewings as many of the subtle inner-details of the story will be lost on most viewers.I would recommend this film mostly as an accompaniment to the earlier (and superior) "Mephisto". It follows a similar pattern and storyline.
The DVD is a decent quality with a bit of grain, but overall a nice picture and sound. There is no overdubbing in English, and the film is in German with subtitles - it lends much credibility to the historical feel to the story however.
There is an extra featurette included with interviews with the director and Klaus Maria Brandauer, but is exactly the same as the one on "Mephisto" so its kind of a waste here.
Overall this is a fine DVD and I enjoyed it.
