AMEN. – A Powerful Adaptation of Rolf Hochhuth’s "The Representative" DVD

Overview

"AMEN." is a gripping historical drama directed by the acclaimed Costa-Gavras, based on Rolf Hochhuth’s controversial novel The Representative. The film delves into the moral complexities of World War II, focusing on two men who grapple with their consciences amidst the horrors of the Holocaust. On one side is Kurt Gerstein (played by Ulrich Tukur), a real-life chemist and SS officer who supplied Zyklon B gas to concentration camps but also tried to alert the Vatican and Allied forces about the atrocities. On the other side is Riccardo (played by Mathieu Kassovitz), a young Catholic priest determined to break the silence of the Church hierarchy. Together, they confront the ethical dilemmas of complicity, responsibility, and the courage to act in the face of evil.

Genel Bakış

"AMEN." ünlü yönetmen Costa-Gavras tarafından çekilen ve Rolf Hochhuth’un tartışmalı romanı The Representative’den uyarlanan etkileyici bir tarihî dramadır. Film, II. Dünya Savaşı sırasındaki ahlaki karmaşıklıkları ele alır ve Holokost’un dehşeti karşısında vicdanlarıyla mücadele eden iki adamın hikayesini anlatır. Bir yanda, konsantrasyon kamplarına Zyklon B gazı sağlayan ancak aynı zamanda Vatikan ve Müttefik güçleri bu konuda uyarmaya çalışan gerçek hayat şahsiyeti Kurt Gerstein (Ulrich Tukur) yer alır. Diğer yanda ise Kilise hiyerarşisinin sessizliğini bozmaya kararlı genç bir papaz olan Riccardo (Mathieu Kassovitz) bulunur. İki adam da suç ortaklığı, sorumluluk ve kötülüğe karşı cesaretle mücadele etme konusundaki ahlaki ikilemlerle yüzleşir.
