Der Staat gegen Fritz Bauer Director : Lars Kraume

Der Staat gegen Fritz Bauer Plot

It is the late 1950s. Flourishing under the economic miracle, Germany grows increasingly apathetic about confronting the horrors of its recent past. Nevertheless, Fritz Bauer doggedly devotes his energies to bringing the Third Reich to justice. One day Bauer receives a letter from Argentina, written by a man who is certain that his daughter is dating the son of Adolph Eichmann. Excited by the promising lead, and mistrustful of a corrupt judiciary system where Nazis still lurk, Bauer journeys to Jerusalem to seek alliance with Mossad, the Israeli secret service. To do so is treason — yet committing treason is the only way Bauer can serve his country.

Very good

This move chronicles the hunt for the notorious Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann who escaped justice at the end of the second World War. Burghart Klaußner is electric in his role as the Attorney General, Fritz Bauer, a relentless lawyer who is surrounded by former Nazis. His desire to have Eichmann extradited to the GDR is so great, he would rather commit treason than allow him slip away a second time. A riveting watch. #legal #thriller #worldcinema #dark
