Counterfeiters

I may have the title a little wrong....a really great film about concentration camp Jews forced to counterfeit British pounds and American dollars for the Nazis. Brings up all those big questions about what would you do to survive? And do you have the right to take others out with you for the sake of your "principles"? Not what you would call an upper, or a light date movie, but one that would lead to a lot of really interesting discussion at the dinner/drinks afterwards. You know from the opening moments that the main protagonist survives, so that isn't the suspense, but how he does, is. I saw it in a big city, and suspect it may not get to a lot of multiplexes, but should make most "art" theaters. In German with subtitles, but extremely watchable.
