Time Past

About This Movie

Time Past is a gritty depiction of life in a German POW camp during WWII. The atmosphere is heavy, filled with dread as we witness the cruelty of the Gestapo officers like Weber and Von Steinhagen. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build before the protagonist, Fram, finds a flicker of hope in his escape. What stands out here is the rawness of the performances—there's a palpable desperation in the actors that makes the horror feel very real. It's not just a war film; it digs into themes of survival and resistance. The practical effects, though modest, serve the story well, adding to the film's authenticity. Buczkowski's direction brings a stark realism that lingers long after the credits roll.
