Berlin 36 (2009)

"Berlin 36" is a period drama set against the tension of pre-war Germany, following the personal and political struggles of its characters in the lead-up to the Olympic Games. Julie Engelbrecht anchors the production with a raw intensity that carries into the film's more intimate territory, while Karoline Herfurth brings her own layered presence to the story. The archive holds 2 scenes worth seeking out, including a nude scene that strips away the film's period restraint for something far more exposed. It's a compact but worthwhile entry for fans tracking Engelbrecht and Herfurth's willingness to go there on screen.
