A drama based on the lives of real members of the Red Orchestra, a band of young resisters to the Nazi regime, this stirring, poignant story of love during a time of war focuses on Hilde Coppi (Babylon Berlin star Liv Lisa Fries). In a fresh approach, director Andreas Dresen portrays the group as a bunch of attractive young people who hang out in parks in the summer, smoking and sitting around a fire, some dabbling in polyamory, almost as occupied with their own romantic lives as they are engaged with activism. Given the agonizing futility of most of their actions, the film plays as a memorial to their courage rather than their achievements, suggesting that it’s possible for legacy to lie in the attempt, rather than the outcome. From Hilde, With Love might be set almost 80 years ago, but the themes explored seem destined to remain eternally urgent and relevant. –AS
