Triple bill of World War Two dramas. 'Attack On Leningrad' (2007)
stars Mira Sorvino as English journalist Kate Davis, who becomes
trapped within the besieged city of Leningrad at the height of the
war. Separated from her lover, writer Philip Parker (Gabriel
Byrne), and presumed dead, Kate is rescued by Nina Tsvetkova (Olga
Sutulova), a female member of the Leningrad militia. Joining forces
with a makeshift band of survivors in the famished city, the two
women battle to stay alive throughout the devastating 800-day
siege. 'The Bridge' (2008) is a made-for-TV remake of the classic
1959 German war film, which in turn is based on the
autobiographical novel by Manfred Gregor. 16-year-old Walter (Lars
Steinhofel) is having a secret affair with his widowed 29-year-old
teacher Elfie (Franka Potente). When Hitler's army begins
mobilising its last troops, Walter and his friends are recruited to
help defend a strategically important bridge near their town. What
begins as a relatively minor operation quickly descends into a life
or death battle in which the idealistic young men are confronted by
the brutal reality of war. Despite Elfie's desperate attempts to
stop her lover from taking part in a battle she can see is useless
and unwinnable, Walter's pride and blind obedience to Hitler compel
him and his friends to hold their position even as the last of
their superiors concede defeat. 'City of War - The Story of John
Rabe' (2009), from German director Florian Gallenberger, is based
on real events. Ulrich Tukur stars as John Rabe, the German
businessman and card-carrying member of the Nazi party who uses his
influence to save the lives of many thousands of Chinese citizens
from the brutal offensive by the Japanese military during the
infamous Rape of Nanking in 1937-38.
