Jew Suss: Rise and Fall / Jud Süss - Film ohne Gewissen (2010)

Director: Oskar Roehler
Writer: Klaus Richter (screenplay), Oskar Roehler (collaborating writer), Franz Novotny (collaborating writer)
Stars: Tobias Moretti, Martina Gedeck, Moritz Bleibtreu

This intricate historical drama tells the story of actor Ferdinand Marian (Tobias Moretti), who is ordered by Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels to star in the 1940 anti-Semitic film Jew Suss. Despite his cooperation, Ferdinand’s actions have unexpected costs. Ferdinand’s Jewish wife, Anna (Martina Gedeck), is sent to a concentration camp, and as World War II intensifies, he rebels against the Nazis, leading to the destruction of his career.
German films about Nazism often face the evil eye from reviewers. No exception in this case. Director Oskar Roehler clarified; "Our aim was to enter the innermost sanctum of Nazi high society, and to portray how seducible artists were in the Third Reich".
The Third Reich is not to be trifled with. Not now, when we finally have mapped and interpreted Nazism forever. This film delivers a different message and conclusion. De-demonizing the clowns and incarcerating the followers.
