Put this on your list. Lore is an amazing film. Visually arresting, powerful storytelling, the whole works.

Also, a great continuation of themes established in The White Ribbon, another incredible film exploring German society and Nazism.

MY DEAR LITTLE MISS:—

Your very agreeable letter of the 15th is received. I regret the necessity of saying I have no daughter. I have three sons—one seventeen, one nine, and one seven. They with their mother constitute my whole family. As to the whiskers, as I have never worn any, do you not think that people would call it a piece of silly affectation were I to begin wearing them now?

I am your true friend and sincere well-wisher,
A. LINCOLN.
