Perched along the pastoral English seaside, nobody would suspect that the Augusta-Victoria college once housed and educated the daughters of Hitler’s Nazi elite.
Six Minutes To Midnight is a dramatic adaptation of the school’s WWII history, and it’s now playing in Australian cinemas, having been released on April 22.
With a cast including Eddie Izzard, Dame Judi Dench, and Jim Broadbent among others, it’s a spy story fitted around true events that you’ll need to see to believe.
The trailer below gets across some of Six Minutes To Midnight‘s disarming storytelling, including the casting of typically comic talent Eddie Izzard as a heroic undercover spy. “The Führer would say he isn’t man enough”, two of the schoolgirls giggle to one another. Izzard catches them off-guard by answering in perfect German: “The Führer would say what?”
Uncovering alliance between England and Germany, as well as the shocking death of a faculty member, Izzard and the allies must navigate a suspenseful web of wartime politics and deceit.
If that sounds like the kind of complex historical drama you can’t miss, make sure you use the link below to find the ideal session time for you to see Six Minutes to Midnight.
