Blood + Gold on Netflix is for fans of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds:The film, set towards the end of WWII, is paced like the American director’s. The cinematography is delightful, the music is spot on, with a variety of different genres suiting the tempo of the scene. The film opens as deserter Hienrich, a former SS soldier who left the front, gets a new lease on life when Elsa, a villager, saves him as he was hanged at the neck and left to die. As the story unfolds, we observe the Nazis search for a specific Jew in the village of Sonnenberg, who is claimed to have hidden a treasure in his home that was burned to a crisp at the start of the war. However, the Nazis have a deadline — looming above are the American low-flying planes, the French who crossed the Rhine, and the rumors of more tired soldiers deserting the front. When the Nazis and Heinrich cross paths, the bloodbath begins as he, Elsa, and her brother Paule continue on a tirade of Nazi killings. The film is credited to be Nazis’ slasher film — which certainly is not for every viewer.
