Gerhard Liebmann is brilliant as Eismayer, an Austrian drill officer who falls for a recruit in this intelligent, understated film about acceptance
The character of Sgt Maj Eismayer is instantly recognisable from every basic training movie you’ve ever seen. He is the tough drill officer who humiliates and bullies new recruits, bellowing at them to hit the floor and give him 25 press-ups. But it turns out that this Austrian drama directed by David Wagner (himself an army veteran) is inspired by true events. The real-life Eismayer was a gay man who lived a double life for many years, and then fell in love with a younger colleague. The film is a surprisingly gentle, touching story about acceptance, though it is less than sizzling as a romance.
Gerhard Liebmann is brilliant as Eismayer, a man with a face chiselled out of granite and a worrying-looking vein throbbing across his forehead.

We English are extremely passionate and territorial about our national sport. Even as an Englishman who started following my home club, Ipswich Town, over 30 years ago, it still surprises me how much football permeates our culture whenever I take a trip back to the UK. Almost any social interaction, whether it is small talk with the owner of a corner shop or the preamble to a business meeting, usually involves a little footy banter.
Football, aka soccer, took its modern form when the Football Association laid down the rules in 1863. The first English Football League season followed in 1888, a 12-team competition that saw Preston North End crowned champions. The English take a nostalgic pride in giving football to the world, although our national team has long been eclipsed by other nations who have refined and perfected the game. Even so, we still like to think that our long history of...
