SOPHIE SCHOLL: THE FINAL DAYS (2005)

[The Burgomaster]

Here's a gem I found on Netflix streaming video over the weekend.  Highly recommended.

This is the story of Sophie Scholl, a young German woman who, with her brother and others, operated an anti-Nazi organization called "The White Rose" during World War II.  Most of the movie involves some riveting scenes of Sophie being interrogated by the Gestapo.  It's refreshing to see a movie that relies on well-written, suspenseful dialogue and solid acting rather than shootouts, explosions, spinning cameras, and rapid-fire editing.

In German, with English subtitles.

I've had this in my Netflix streming queue for quite some time.  I had no idea it was based on a true story.  Gonna have to sit down and watch it sometime soon.
