Conspiracy of Hearts

Outstanding, engrossing war drama is a definite slow-burn; gradually tightens its grip to a shattering deneumont, which perhaps stops just short of the devastating climax you might expect. Performances across the board are exemplary, with Palmer as the increasingly desperate Mother Superior, and Lieven as the ruthless Nazi officer standing out. Emerges from nowhere as one of the most shattering WW2 dramas ever crafted.
