Reviews

  • Walter Jens praises in Spiegel 17/1990: “While the film only presents the results, the book makes it clear how the results came about” and criticizes a “stereotypical successor” of the contributions by Lea Rosh and Eberhard Jäckel in the book, the one “Perfect togetherness” in the film. According to him, the reproduction of the events in the book in his “standard language” seems “too smooth, too leveling, too correct”.
