Reviews:

A study of love and morality.
A lonely German farmer (Armin Mueller-Stahl) hides a lovely, upper-class, Jewish lady from the Nazis. He falls in love with her and avoids helping her to escape; he would rather keep her with him. He hides the signal, that the lady’s husband had left to show that he is still alive; the farmer would prefer that the husband be dead. This fascinating and subtle character study, by director Agnieszka Holland, depicts a man, torn between his conscience and his love, in a situation that he is unable to cope with adequately. Mueller-Stahl’s performance is superb and very touching.

Grievous Harvest
Some reflections on how badly this film has been served, stemming from my surprise I had never heard of it, when I was looking for the work of Agnieszka Holland. The DVD from CCC Filmkunst, 1984, bears only the English title “Angry Harvest,” and no indication that it should be originally “Bittere Ernte,” a Harvest not “angry,” but “grievous,” “spoilt” too like the apples dumped out so that sack can be used for a darker purpose. Or I suppose one could think of Julia Ward Howe’s Divinity “trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,” but it never has come to that. The perpetrators of great wrong sit comfortable. We know that the Holocaust cannot be represented in art forms. With the perpetrators too we would destroy the screen. That’s why it’s odd that Roger Ebert, listed among Critics of this film and usually so generous in his sympathy, should have condemned the movie for not showing enough devastation. The film does something else with Arendt’s insight into “the banality of evil.” After Sunday mass occupying German soldiers chat with local girls. Property can be acquired in a way that is “perfectly legal” once one knows it was expropriated from a Jew “who probably won’t be back to claim it.” And thus to Leo Wolny, who is such a nice man and will bring you potatoes if you are out and soothe your fever. This is something different from what the box calls “a compelling story of love and desire.” It is about a man and his peers who are “bitterböse,” “fiercely evil.”
