Very glad that Stellan is in this movie. I love his morally ambiguous tone and intelligence. But I seem to remember from the novel that the scene he is in actually features an SS officer whom the boy looks up to like a blonde angel in a stained glass window. Now that is a morally ambiguous sequence, but, I think in the movie the screenwriter/director has changed things a bit but not too much. I am looking forward to seeing this when I get the chance.
Looks like the filmmaker was right in shooting this scene. There is a sequence like this in The Painted Bird in which an Einsatzgruppen soldier takes the boy to a railroad track in order to shoot him. The SS officer sequence is another thing entirely.
Stellan is the only actor I can think of who consistently lands interesting roles in relevant movies.
