CGiii Comment

Definitely important - but, the film does not have a sliver of the stage play's impact.

Pity.

This should not have been an arthouse project. Mathias is a heavyweight in the theatre - this marked the beginning and the end of his film career. Some directors cannot transfer their skills to the screen - a prime example.

Eagerly anticipated, massively disappointing.

The(ir) Blurb...

Max is gay and as such is sent to Dachau concentration camp under the Nazi regime. He tries to deny he is gay and gets a yellow label (the one for Jews) instead of pink (the one for gays). In camp he falls in love with his fellow prisoner Horst, who wears his pink label with pride.
