Divided we fall (a lot of spoilers)

Saw the best part (last third) of Divided we fall again yesterday, and wow, was it good! I'd almost forgotten how good it was. Gotta see the whole thing again now, as soon as I can.

This is a movie full of various bad guys: the Nazis are cruel and scary, the liberators are almost as cruel and scary as the Nazis, the Nazi collaborator is so weasely that even his own friends cannot trust him, the resistance fighters are evil, hypocritical and self-righteous, and in comparison with all that the protagonists, a couple who just wants to survive and be left in relative peace and maybe have a kid if they can elicits all the possible sympathy from the viewers. Naming that couple Josef and Maria was a bit too much, but that's OK.

By the last third of the movie Josef, Maria and everyone else are bound together by the realization that if they don't cooperate with each other they are really, really gonna have their asses kicked. Watching their attempts at cooperation is fascinating especially considering the amount of distaste they have for each other by that point.
