Führer und Verführer
Führer and Seducer
Around 80 years ago the greatest crimes of humanity took place: the Holocaust and World War II. Author and director Joachim A. Lang ("Mack the Knife – Brecht‘s Threepenny Film") examines the period from the so-called "Anschluss" of Austria in 1938 to the downfall 1945 in a way that has never been shown before. Fateful years of world history which would not have been possible without the powerful propaganda machine spearheaded by Joseph Goebbels. The minister shaped the public image of Nazism, an image that continues to exert a destructive influence to this day. Now, in the age of fake news and disinformation warfare, the same mechanisms of propaganda are used by modern agitators in order to gain and abuse power. "Führer and Seducer" goes straight to the center of power. In order to avoid the usual portrayal built upon staged images, the film opts for a fictionalization based on historical sources, including authentic dialogues.
