Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Filmmaker Michael Verhoeven (not to be confused with Showgirls director Paul Verhoeven) made one of the best films of the '80s with this bold, 1989 German production about an adolescent girl, Sonja (Lena Stolze of Verhoeven's The White Rose), who researches the history of her hometown's involvement in the Holocaust. The "nasty" of the title doesn't refer to provocative behavior on the heroine's part but rather Sonja's sudden reputation as a busybody, stirring up dirt about her neighbors' sundry crimes against humanity and being rebuffed or punished at every turn. Verhoeven makes a number of inspired, artistic leaps in portraying Sonja's story (she grows up and is a married woman before her quest is complete) as an epic myth for post-war Germany. The director draws on thrilling performance ideas from Bertolt Brecht and pursues heavy visual stylization to bring an exciting immediacy to this tale of dangerous secrets. Topping it all off is Stolze's sharp, likable, smart acting. --Tom Keogh

Not as nasty as it seems 5 out of 5 stars
A German high school student, Sonja (Lena Stolze) investigates her town's NSDAP past. Of course this is not a subject that will ender her with the other residence. She may find that they were not so resistant. Let's face it that is a nasty thing for her to do.

The film is well paced and will have you investigating with her. Everyone speaks slow and clear enough that this film could be used in a class on learning German.
