Veit Harlan was one of Nazi Germany’s most notorious filmmakers. Millions all across occupied Europe saw his films, the most perfidious of which was the anti-Semitic propaganda film Jew Süss. No figure—save for Leni Riefenstahl—is as closely associated with the cinema of the Holocaust years. (Harlan’s 1945 epic Kolberg was the basis for Inglourious Basterds’ pivotal film-within-a-film Stolz Der Nation). Harlan was also the only artist from the Nazi era to be charged with war crimes. With never-before-seen archival footage, unearthed film excerpts, rare home movies, and new interviews, this film is a searing portrait of the controversial filmmaker and an eye-opening examination of World War II film history.
