Great Freedom [Available May 6 via streaming on MUBI.] Extraordinary acting dominates Sebastian Meise's powerful, award-winning, factually inspired, gripping, gritty, moving, somber, violent, nonlinear, 116-minute, 2021 film with a predictable, but surprising ending in which a rebellious, homosexual Jew (Franz Rogowski), who was a Nazi concentration camp survivor, once again is incarcerated in post-war Germany under Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code that makes sex with the same gender illegal, which was not fully abolished until 1994, where he has relationships with three men, including a former lover (Thomas Prenn) on the outside, a younger music teacher (Anton von Lucke) arrested with him during a police sting operation, and his initially homophobic, drug-addicted, convicted killer cellmate (Georg Friedrich), over three imprisonments in 1945, 1947, and 1968.
