Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"Ich war neunzehn" is for the most part based on the diary director Konrad Wolf kept throughout his time with the Red Army in 1945 and is thus a very personal, authentic, autobiographical account of the last days of World War 2. However, some scenes, e.g. the one in which a blind German soldier mistakes Gregor for an fellow German, had no basis in Wolf's journal and were included for their cinematographic value.

Featured review
Wes Anderson Style
This movie is superb!
If you enjoy Wes Anderson, then watch this film! It's very similar in characters, cinematography, costuming and actor blocking.
What a powerful message to the German people at the same time. This piece of art calls out their hatred and is quite blunt about it.
No spoilers, but I love that the lead Russian soldier is German. It adds a sense of rebellion to his actions.
It's refreshing and fun to watch. Again, I highly recommend this to Wes Anderson fans. The cinematography is fantastic! Great long shots, close ups and framed scenes.
A film definitely worth finding and owning. :)
