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. Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, SOPHIE SCHOLL stars Julia Jentsch 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. One of its few female members, 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.

Any chance of a review?

Didn't know this had a 4k remaster, one of my favorites! I guess I'll pick it up soon. From the trailer it looks good enough for me to risk it.

Just watched my UK Blu Ray. Words can't express how brave these people, and others like them, were. I honestly don't know if I would have had the courage that they did.

This movie was my second date with my wife, let's just say it wasn't the best pick lol. It's a wonder we're still together 18 years later! Good movie though.

I would recommend keeping an eye out for a new German film called From Hilde, with Love which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year.

Aside from it's unique way of telling the story - starting in the middle and working from the middle to the beginning and the end at the same time - it fits very much into the sub genre of films about ordinary citizens fighting the Nazis. I highly recommend it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20420646/reference/

Powerful and very moving.
