Great Freedom (12A)
Directed by Sebastian Meise
★★★★
THE relentless persecution of homosexuals in post-war Germany is examined through the powerful and moving story of Hans, a gay man who refused to be beaten by the system and found love in the unlikeliest of places — prison.
What is most shocking about co-writer and director Sebastian Meise’s new film is how liberation by the Allies in World War II did not mean freedom for all.
