Plot: Ranked by critics as one of Germany’s most important films, The Murderers Are Among Us offers a wrenching look at history and humanity. The first feature film produced in Germany after Wor...( read more read more... )ld War II, it is set in Berlin just after the surrender, and the city is still being battered by air raids. The characters move through the half-destroyed husks of old buildings, and even simple acts like serving a meal at a table take on new meaning as the people try to put their lives back together. Susanne Wallner is a concentration camp survivor, eager to taste life again after her living death. Dr. Hans Mertens is a former German officer, unable to live with the guilt of what he and his former comrades have done. The two must quite literally learn to live side by side as they come to terms with the past and start to look toward the future. The film is beautifully and sensitively made, and possesses a shining optimism that is surprising for its time. --Ali Davis

    This was the first shown in my Post-War German film class - it being the first German film produced after the war ended. As such, it is a very important film. It's a little hard to judge overall, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all the same. I think it was important that a film released at this time sum up the sentiment of the German people at the time and I think it was very successful in that. I thought the directing was very, very interesting as well - a lot of cool shots and angles that I haven't really seen before.
