Wow. So much to chew on with this movie, but the moment sitting with me is Hoss telling his wife all he could think about at the party were the logistics of gassing everyone there, and she quickly changing the subject. The capacity of horror they (we) willingly accept, deem necessary even, vs. where they draw the line.

Shooting most of it in the daylight without any history book graininess drives the point home even more, and we need it more than ever. NC wf 0.

100% the scene that continues to fuck with my brain as well. That an him puking right after that.

The wife luxuriating in the fur, checking for hidden treasure.

The wife noting that the payoff for their investment in Nazism and its intention to depopulate and repopulate was close at hand, their dream of a purist’s farm life.

The wife noting that she could easily convert her domestic authority to one lording over immediate death.

People can be bribed to do almost anything, and achieving one’s dreams at the expense of others is all too familiar.

Super boring.

I get everything you describe, etc.... but it just didn't move me. I mean, what they tell and how they tell it.

I must have the weirdest taste in movies, rarely get the hype.
