The rules of diplomacy from those of war. In the wake of a startling revelation, Major Grau communicates When the discovery of the murdered prostitute in Nazi-occupied Warsaw unleashes an international manhunt for a psychopathic sex killer, the crime takes on special import, both for its bestiality and because the evidence points to the murderer being one of three Nazi officers -- General Tanz (Peter O'Toole), a steely-eyed German combat commander; General Von Seydlitz-Gabler (Clark Gray), the Nazi commander in Warsaw, and Gabler's chief of staff, General Kahlenberge (Donald Pleasence). As Major Grau (Omar Sharif), a German army intelligence officer and an anti-Nazi intellectual, initiates the manhunt, his investigation is complicated by extenuating circumstances, including an affair between Gabler's daughter and Lance Corporal Hartmann (Tom Courtenay) and conflicting evidence provided by Nazi intelligence sources. Grau is further hampered by having separate his findings to French Surete Inspector Morand (Philippe Noiret). And though Grau is killed, years later Morand's search finally identifies the killer in Nuremberg.

A rabid Christian homophobe, a feeble parkour wannabe, a nihilistic goth, a semi-schizophrenic Irishman: these are the four contestants for a new role on The Sunflower Hour, a children's puppet show produced by pornmeister Donald (Peter New) and his embittered wife Melissa (Johannah Newmarch). This raunchy mockumentary follows the four puppeteers through humiliating auditions, tragicomic personal revelations and too many pratfalls to count as they fight to gain recognition for their art. Aaron Houston's film is not for delicate sensibilities, to put it mildly: we're talking foul language, cruel jokes and enough sexual and personal pathology to fill five Jerry Springer episodes. If you can stand it, though, this is a barrel full of belly laughs, with superbly vivid characters and a razor-sharp satire of the entertainment industry in all its backstage hypocrisy. The contestants--all too convincingly played by four game-for-anything thespians--are superb comic creations. They're endearing and pitiable, grotesque and human, funny and sad--often all these things and more within the same scene. The portraits of family life, artistic aspiration, financial desperation and showbiz decadence ring horribly, hilariously true. Think of this movie as Canadian Idol via South Park and you're halfway there: it's a taboo-smashing, raucous belch of a movie, but not without a sense of feel-good triumph at the end.
