Taking Sides
(2001)

A fantastic film & not to be missed.
A thoughtful film well worth seeing and trying to accept as 'happening' as you view it. ( one tends to want to take sides with what may well be wasted empathy - though of course one actually cannot know the final outcome.) The finest moment of ultra clarity making the entire film both entertaining, of worth and full of great depth, comes during the end-of-film credits & is LIVE ACTUAL ARCHIVE FOOTAGE. Don't take you eyes off the black and white archive film running behind the end-of-film credits that the director repeats (plays TWICE for you,so that you especially do NOT miss it) as this footage gives you the truth about Furtwängler and how he felt about the (former) present regime in Germany.
