Bob L @RT76975801 May 4 While this adaptation of the stage play clearly fails to take full advantage of the intimacy cinema can offer, it does get the message across--throwing the gauntlet down to filmmakers that there is plenty of undiscovered country for an industry that just can't go without constantly making or re-making movies about WWII: let the queer Holocaust out of the closet, already. For me, Sherman's attempt at writing lyrics for "The Streets of Berlin" was the most traumatizing part of this endeavor... But it's worth suffering through to see these subjects out of the footnotes of history books and on the screen. See more Stephen C @bob25009 07/24/2025 Pride in 1 hour and 57 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See more J T @J_view 12/29/2020 Great cast... however, sad reminder of the horror that gays & Jewish people faced. See more 02/20/2020 A stellar performance by all. See more 02/27/2017 Bent takes a look inside the concentration camp for the homosexuals and how the prisoners tried to survive in extremely harsh conditions. My only problem with Bent is the lack of sympathetic note for the characters, they partly brought their fate upon themselves, but otherwise it is a tale of courage and strength against oppression.
