The 1993 German war drama film Stalingrad directed by Joseph Vilsmaier follows a platoon of World War II German Army soldiers transferred to Russia, where they ultimately find themselves plunged into the infamous Battle of Stalingrad.
In the spring of 1942, German troops advanced deep into the Soviet Union en route to Stalingrad. Hitler seriously misjudged the tenacity of the Red Army and was convinced that the city could be conquered before winter. Ordinary foot soldiers, inadequately clothed and without sufficient food, struggled just to stay alive. Abandoned by their leaders, Nazi troops froze and starved to death in a conflict that left over one million dead. Stalingrad graphically depicts this turning point in WWII in which the average German soldier was as much a victim of Nazi evil as the Soviet people.
One of the most respected movies ever produced about the Stalingrad battle,...

Cologne, Germany -- Tom Tykwer's menage a trois drama "Drei" (Three) and new adaptations of Franz Kafka and Daniel Kehlmann were among the projects backed in the latest round of funding by regional subsidy body Filmstifftung Nrw.
The Nrw film board signed a €400,000 ($600,000) check for Tykwer's latest -- the director's first German-language film since "The Princess and the Warrior" (2000). The drama, starring Devid Striesow, Sophie Rois and Sebastian Schipper focuses on a 40-something couple in Berlin who, separately, fall in love with the same man. "Drei" has already secured around $1 million in subsidies from the Berlin-Brandenburg Medienboard and some $750,000 from federal film board the Ffa.
Jochen Alexander Freydank, an Oscar winner for his 2007 short "Toyland," picked up €225,000 ($336,000) in backing from Nrw towards his feature debut, an adaptation of the unfinished Kafka short story "The Burrow."
