Diplomatie
France, Germany
| 2014 | Volker Schlöndorff
The new film from the director of The Tin Drum is a gripping historical drama, inspired by fact, set during the Liberation of Paris at the end of WWII. It tells of the extraordinary efforts of Swedish diplomat Raoul Nordling (André Dussollier) to convince German general Dietrich von Choltitz (Niels Arestrup) to disobey Hitler’s orders and not level Paris and all its landmarks before the Nazis pull out of the city. “Produces at least as much unsettlement as relief, compelling the viewer to remain haunted by nightmarish thoughts of what might have happened.” –NY Times.
