Jew Suss: Rise and Fall
Directed by Oskar Roehler
A morally complex historical drama about complicity, coercion, and conscience during the Nazi era, centered on an actor's tragic entanglement with propaganda and the human cost of collaboration.
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.
