Movie Reviews of Dresden

Movie Review: "The Epic Mini-Series ... Dresden (2006) ... Koch Vision"
Summary: 5 Stars

Koch Vision and BBC presents "DRESDEN: THE EPIC MINI-SERIES" (2006) (180 mins/Color) (Dolby Digital) --- As seen on The History Channel -- No one could totally recreate the effects of the London Blitz or the Dresden bombing, but this mini-series "Dresden" makes a strong effort --- Must recommend the BBC presentation ultimately is a fascinating illustration of the effects of war --- The 30-minute making-of featurette only gives a little bit more background on the bombing itself, but it does go into detail about the production of the movie and the production team's efforts to achieve accuracy --- The big budget movie is impressive for a television miniseries; those 10 million euros turn up on the screen --- The films soundtrack is full of 1940s Big Band swing music, comes through with flying colors.

Under the production staff of:
Roland Suso Richter - Director
Nico Hofmann - Producer
Nikolaus Krämer - Producer
Sascha Schwingel - Producer
Stefan Kolditz - Screenwriter
Harald Kloser - Composer (Music Score)
Thomas Wanker - Composer (Music Score)
Jürgen Schuster - Executive Producer
Lucia Faust - Costume Designer

Our story line and plot, Brings together two major themes -- one dealing with the war itself, showing the German civilians living day to day in fear of severe retaliation on behalf of the British RAF --- It also shows how the British pilots, who risk their lives to bomb the enemy -- how ruthless the Nazi's were --- The other theme is a fragment of the previous theme, showing a love story between a stranded British pilot and a German civilian nurse working in a local hospital during the war --- This film betrays something more about World War 2 while 'witnessing' it from another point of view --- and at the same time enjoying an intriguing story about two 'enemies' falling in love --- It's well worth watching
