This 140-minute documentary takes a close look at the story and historical context of a young Swiss man who was beheaded during WW II for supposedly wanting to kill Hitler. The man's family cannot help clarify the issue since they say he had been pro-Nazi earlier. Other injustices or puzzling omissions come to the fore, such as a German who was against Hitler, survived torture by the SS, and then was not given any state aid when peace was restored. Another sequence shows an extensive U.S. archive of materials that identifies many Nazis and their activities -- but is not available to anyone trying to track down former war criminals. Like other films of this type, the documentary helps to fill in facts about WW II that are little-known, or slow in coming out.

서부극 사상, 유일하게 뿌연 먼지대신 하얀 눈벌만 잔뜩 나오는 영화. 배경부터 범상치 않은 것처럼 이 영화는 모든 서부극의 틀을 부숴버리고 결말마저 뒤틀린 채 끝나버린다. 이 영화의 결말은 일반 영화에서도 찾아보기 힘든 부류이다. 이 삐딱하고 냉소적인 시선은 주인공들에게서도 나타난다. 아무리 봐도 악당인 클라우스 킨스키와, 선역이라지만 아무런 말도 없는 사일런스 장 루이 트렝티냥의 대결은 기이한 대결로 시작해서 기이한 대결로 끝난다. 아마 개봉당시에도 말이 많았는지 아예 얼터 엔딩이 따로 존재할 정도였다.

The four days of Naples was not a revolution. They had no leaders, no preparations of any kind. The revolt was born and flared up in a matter of hours. The whole population of Naples took part in it, but they all did so without consulting the others. Driven by a kind of necessity, the Neapolitans took up their rifles, armed themselves with stones, household objects, and bottles of petrol, and fought on their stretch of road, anonymous and silent. Once the battle was over, everyone returned to their homes and the revolt remained in memory with only the names of the dead, those, at least, who were known. One figure still remembered is that of Gennarino Capuozzo, a ten-year-old boy who was killed on a barricade while fighting against the invaders of his village.
