COUNTERFEITERS, THE
Rated:(R)
 
Austria’s official bid for an Oscar nomination, this fact-inspired drama about a rogue unit of protected concentration camp Jews working for the Nazis on a massive project to produce counterfeit money is an exceptional drama on all counts. Audience and critical nods, if not the Academy’s, should make this an art-house winner.
