The Ties That Bind

Director: Su Friedrich
Year Released: 1985
Rating: 1.0

Friedrich questions dear ol' German Mum about Life During WWII, and accompanies the responses with a string of stock footage that does little if anything to illuminate Mum's answers. It doesn't help much that Su's Ma isn't much of a storyteller, and when confronted about the concentration camp at Dachau - she was a secretary for the Nazis - gives the old canned response about having no idea of people being executed en masse (of course) and says she wished she did something about it, will have regrets forever, etc. Whatever gets you through the night, folks.
