Our Nazi
Synopsis
In Our Nazi, we are plunged into a situation we barely, and only slowly, understand: the filming of Thomas Harlanās experimental feature Wundkanal (1984), in which true-life ex-SS officer Alfred Filbert, now very old, is āput on trialā for the camera, without him suspecting what is to come or why he is really there. Kramerās confronting film is an essay about the sticky complicity of everyone present at this event, each bringing their own history, their own political ideology, their own desires to take revenge, to seek redemption or compassion, or just to put their heads down and āget the job doneā professionally, or (in the case of Filbert) to be a star, a part of the magnificent, magical, seductive world of cinema, even if it kills him.
