Reference Film: IV – LE ROSE DI DANZICA by Alberto Bevilacqua

This film is awfully rare. I just saw it twice, (still in Brazil). No way to get it. Any VHS or DVD are available to buy; any chance to record it from TV as well.
From now, any picture to illustrate this posting. I said from now because as soon as I back to Lisbon I’ll post a magnificent one showing Franco Nero wearing a shine silver helmet.

Summary
Set in 1919, this confusing, slow-paced, labyrinthian political drama focuses primarily on the confrontation between two military leaders, Konrad von der Berg (Franco Nero) and Erich von Lehner (Helmut Berger). The implication is that the outcome of their meeting will determine whether Germany will be dominated by the Nazis or not. As the two men confront each other in a deserted military camp, they display a wide range of emotions and a seemingly unflagging ability to talk. Flashbacks reveal the history of their relationship. In the end, one destroys the other but then he has to go back and face the rising Nazi menace.
