The Aryan Couple (2004)
Director: John Daly
Movie review
From Time Out New York
Rather than exploring one of human history's darkest passages from the perspective of its victims, this Holocaust-themed drama focuses on the era's more fortunate. An industrialist (Landau) is ready to sign away his fortune to the Nazis in exchange for his family's freedom, but complications arise when two Jewish servants—a seemingly "perfect Aryan couple"—are discovered. The story loses its grip and momentum during the laboriously realized denouement, which follows the hired help's struggle to escape to Switzerland amid overwrought action sequences propelled by a shrieking violin-driven soundtrack.Author: EC
