MOVIE
-=Directed by=-
Niko Br cher
-=Plot=-
At the very end of major hostilities, Germans frenziedly
corral prisoners and gather up incriminating files. They burn
the files but await official word from Berlin to shoot the
lined-up detainees. Hero/narrator Karl (Iwan Stebunov), along
with the rest of the inmates, wins a last-minute reprieve as
GI's liberate the city.
Pic then flashes back to comparatively peaceful days when the
defiant Edelweissers wandered around the city painting slogans
on walls and occasionally mixing it up with gangs of
Hitlerjungen. Karl's older brother has perished at the front
and Karl carries a torch for his sibling's widow Cilly (Anna
Thalbach). Karl's father is off fighting and his 15-year-old
kid brother Peter shows every sign of growing up into a model
Nazi youth.
A wounded prisoner (Bela B. Felsenheimer), dubbed "Bomber
Hans" for his genius at defusing live bombs, falls into the
hands of Karl's gang. Angry and vengeful, this fully-grown
man's plans for political protest differ widely from the
teens' youthful highjinx and he soon has them stockpiling
weapons and plotting to blow up Gestapo headquarters.
Karl now wants nothing to do with his erstwhile comrades'
"crazy" undertakings, particularly since Hans has permanently
shacked up with Cilly and made Karl's newly-radicalized kid
brother Peter his main disciple.
A raid on Hans' old criminal cohorts alerts the Gestapo to the
Edelweissers' seditious scheme, and the storm troopers close
in on Hans and the boys, rounding them up and torturing them
in several gruesome scenes (indeed, the Nazi's in von Glasow's
Germany, with their predilection to hold guns to little girl's
heads, look like they were sent by wartime Hollywood central
casting).
Karl, in order to save his brother Peter, must choose between
his family and his convictions.
Shot in St. Petersburg, "Pirates" is an unrelievedly bleak,
dreary procession of grainy grays and browns, unbroken by the
least glimmer of color or light. Any celebration is inevitably
intercut with ominous Nazi preparations for imminent doom.
Jolanta Dylewska's hand-held lensing captures action on the
fly with considerable panache, but proves ultimately wearying.
The constantly moving, glued-to-the-action camera neither
allows for identification with Karl's alienated point of view
nor offers any distance for processing events, leaving the
viewer as far from any perspective as the protagonists.
