 The
true story of Germany's most famous anti-Nazi heroine is brought
to thrilling life in the multi-award winning drama "Sophie
Scholl: The Final Days". Germany's official Foreign Language
Film selection for the 2005 Academy Awards, "Sophie Scholl" stars
Julia Jentsch ("The Edukators") in a luminous performance as
the young coed-turned-fearless activist. Armed with long-buried
historical records of her incarceration, director Marc Rothemund
expertly re-creates the last six days of Sophie Scholl's life:
a heart-stopping journey from arrest to interrogation, trial
and sentence.
 In 1943, as Hitler continues to wage war across Europe, a group of college students
mount an underground resistance movement in Munich. Dedicated expressly to the
downfall of the monolithic Third Reich war machine, they call themselves the
White Rose. Its sole female member, Sophie Scholl is captured during a dangerous
mission to distribute pamphlets on campus with her brother Hans. Unwavering in
her convictions and loyalty to the White Rose, her cross-examination by the Gestapo
quickly escalates into a searing test of wills as Scholl delivers a passionate
call to freedom and personal responsibility that is both haunting and timeless.
"Sophie Scholl" received three Lolas (German Oscars) including the Audience Award
and Best Actress Award to Jentsch for her brilliant characterization of the title
role. The film also won two Silver Bears for Best Director and Best Actress at
the 2005 Berlin International Film Festival. |

Review by
DARREL MANSON
  In February 1943, as Germany struggled with
a two front war, a group of university students in Munich were
busy publishing leaflets. The leaflets were diatribes against Hitler
and the German government over the war and various government policies.
They were strongly worded and called on the people of Germany to
rise up. They were, given the setting, treasonous. Those students
(known as The White Rose) were taking part in a dangerous conspiracy
that would be punished severely if they were caught. Among those
students were Hans Scholl and his sister Sophie.
