Harlan: In the Shadow of Jew Süss

Though almost forgotten today, Veit Harlan was one of Nazi Germany's most notorious filmmakers. His most perfidious film was the treacherous anti-Semitic propaganda film Jud Süß - required viewing for all SS members. This documentary is an eye-opening examination of World War II film history as well as the story of a German family from the Third Reich to the present; one that is marked by reckoning, denial and liberation.

To mark the 60th birthday of the multi-talented comedian, singer and author Hape Kerkeling, the two documentary filmmakers André Schäfer and Eric Friedler have created a quiet, thoughtful and entertaining portrait of this often anarchic humorist. The film tells of his rapid rise as a teenager, his time and the blows of fate during the AIDS epidemic, the controversial forced outing, his confident exit from the show business and his new beginning. The film is a sensitive insight into the family history and a fast-paced journey through the career stages of a formative figure in German TV entertainment.

poster-Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Thomas Mann
Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Thomas Mann (2024)

0 /10

Thomas Mann worked for almost 50 years on his novel „Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Felix Krull“. In no other work has the writer incorporated so many of his personal desires and fears. The film takes a look behind the façade of the celebrated narrator and at the same time into the dazzling world of his literary alter ego Felix Krull. While Krull magnetizes, deceives, seduces and presents himself as a successful imposter, Thomas Mann struggles with his inner conflicts. The intertwined lives of Mann and Krull combine to form a captivating journey through exile, self-dramatization, and the bittersweet art of feigning. From a kaleidoscope of exclusively original quotes and fictional scenes, a cinematic tribute is created with subtle irony to the person behind the myth of Thomas Mann and the trickster in each of us.
