Editorial Reviews
The Counterfeiters won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film for 2007. This the true story of the largest counterfeiting operation in history, set up by the Nazis in 1936. Salomon Sally Sorowitsch (Karl Markovics) is the king of counterfeiters. He lives a mischievous life of cards, booze, and women in Berlin during the Nazi-era. Suddenly his luck runs dry when arrested by Superintendent Friedrich Herzog (Devid Striesow). Immediately thrown into the Mauthausen concentration camp, Salomon exhibits exceptional skills there and is soon transferred to the upgraded camp of Sachsenhausen.
Upon his arrival, he once again comes face to face with Herzog, who is there on a secret mission. Hand-picked for his unique skill, Salomon and a group of professionals are forced to produce fake foreign currency under the program Operation Berhard. The team, which also includes detainee Adolf Burger (August Diehl), is given luxury barracks for their assistance. But while Salomon attempts to weaken the economy of Germany s allied opponents, Adolf refuses to use his skills for Nazi profit and would like to do something to stop Operation Bernhard s aid to the war effort. Faced with a moral dilemma, Salomon must decide whether his actions, which could prolong the war and risk the lives of fellow prisoners, are ultimately the right ones.
The soundtrack includes music by Carlos Gardel, performed by Hugo Díaz, classic Opera digitally restored and re-mastered to remarkable quality, and original score by Marius Ruhland.

A Oscar Winner,
By Lewis Faber "Lewis Faber" (Vitoria, ES, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Counterfeiters (Original Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
Seing this beautiful and thrilling picture you'll understand WHY the soundtrack is so important. It signs there is a enormous war horror melted with beautiful civilization achievements. The music is a vivacious counterpoint to human misery and death. Warning: there is only one harmonica player and his name is Hugo Diaz, argentinian, dead in 1977. The music score picked up some of his recordinds from his album- "Tango". The other Hugo Diaz is a homonimous,not a counterfeit, only a good uruguayan bandeonist.
