Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In German with English subtitles. The original German title of this film is In Jenen Tagen (In Those Days).

This film is an episodic recollection of life under the Third Reich, told from the viewpoint of an automobile. Director Helmut Kautner introduces the audience to the car's various owners, each of whom is in one way or another a victim of Nazism. The most poignant vignette concerns a businessman whose life and career are destroyed by the Nazi persecutors of his Jewish wife. Because of a shortage of studio space, most of In Jenen Tagen was lensed outdoors, adding a realistic, documentary-like veneer to the proceedings.

4 of 5 A remarkable film November 26, 2014
Reviewer: John Heitmann from Centerville, OH United States  
This relatively unknown work done in the rubble of post-WWII Germany takes a unique angle in which an automobile (1935 Opel?) is the central thread. It is the car's seven owners stories that follow, each illustrative of a specific time in the short history of everyday people living in the Third Reich.
