“A thrilling film about the power of manipulation” The Guardian

“Exciting – captivating – intelligent” Le Figaro

“A masterpiece” Charlotte Knobloch

 

With his film, Joachim A. Lang sets a clear goal – which is made clear right from the start with a disclaimer: to “expose today’s agitators” through what is shown from the past. A goal that the film undoubtedly achieves. (FBW press release)

“(…) Although the outcome of Goebbels’ story is well known, the viewer follows the events with shock and fascination. This is achieved very successfully through the cinematic design, in particular the montage, the transitions between the many levels, the sound design, such as the repetition of the original dialogues following the acted dialogues, and the restrained use of music. Everything serves to expose the agitators of yesterday and today.“ (Jury statement FBW: ”Rated particularly valuable”)
