If you loved Der Kommandeur, try Leben und Sterben des Colonel Blimp
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Theysit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Kommandeur, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Leben und Sterben des Colonel Blimp is
A film that perhaps believes in the romance of war a little too much. It follows the career of a British officer via flashbacks, from the Boer War to World War II, with emphasis on his friendships and love affairs. It's certainly a long life.
