It’s a story — the attempted genocide of Europe’s Jews by the Nazis and their willing executioners — that has been told many times before. But, say the creators of the new German TV drama The Interpreter of Silence, it’s a story that needs to be told again and again.
The five-part limited series, which bowed on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ worldwide Nov. 15, is up for this year’s Critics Choice Awards in the best foreign-language TV series category. The period drama will go up against the South Korean series Bargain, The Glory, Mask Girl and Moving, the French crime series Lupin, and the Italian mafia drama The Good Mothers.
Set in Frankfurt in 1963, The Interpreter of Silence follows the events of Eva Bruhns, a 24-year-old German woman, played by Katharina Stark, who gets a job as a Polish-to-German interpreter in the Auschwitz trials, the...

Disney+ has set “German House,” a drama about a young interpreter who is confronted with the shocking truth of the Holocaust during her work at the first Auschwitz trial in 1963, as its next German original.
The five-part miniseries is an adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name by author Annette Hess, who also wrote the screenplay and serves as showrunner.
Shooting on “German House” has been underway in Poland since late August and will continue until mid-December. Isa Prahl (“Westwall”) and Randa Chahoud (“Deutschland 89”) serve as directors.
Produced by Gaumont Germany, the series sees the protagonist uncover horrible crimes, suffering and guilt that had been suppressed during the German economic miracle as she also discovers her own family entanglements in the dark side of German history.

Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother’s house we go. Except this ain’t no fairy tale... unless it is, perhaps, a hint of the beginnings of a new mythology of darkness and light, of scary childhood and even scarier adolescence giving way to a resigned, grieving adulthood. Lore (newcomer Saskia Rosendahl, who reminds me a young Connie Nielsen), perhaps 14 or 15 years old, is abandoned with her four younger siblings, one still a babe in arms, by their parents; yes, in the deep dark woods. It’s for the children’s safety, since Mom (Ursina Lardi) and Dad (Hans-Jochen Wagner) -- he’s a Nazi officer; it’s hinted that she may be some sort of Mengele-esque doctor or scientist -- must turn themselves in to the occupying American forces, now that the Fuhrer is dead. Mom says she’s coming back, but Lore knows better, and...

The fascinating and visually stunning new WWII-era film, Lore, features a protagonist whose perspective is one not usually heard from in the genre. The movie, an Australian-German coproduction directed by Aussie filmmaker Cate Shortland, takes place in Germany in the immediate aftermath of the war—Hitler has just committed suicide. Lore (played by Saskia Rosendahl), the titular character, is rushed off to a house in the countryside by her Nazi parents, who realize that they will soon face recriminations and imprisonment by the occupying Allied forces. Their fears soon prove founded, as Lore’s father (Hans-Jochen Wagner) disappears and her mother (Ursina...

Title: Lore Director: Cate Shortland Starring: Saskia Rosendahl, Nele Trebs, André Frid, Mika Seidel, Kai-Peter Malina, Nick Holaschke, Ursina Lardi, Hans-Jochen Wagner The Holocaust is perhaps one of the most frequent film topics, both in the United States and internationally. Most films about the subject take place during the era of Nazi power, many seen from the perspective of the Jews and other victims, and others, such as The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Good, looking in from the outside. Lore, the 2012 Oscar submission for Best Foreign Film from Australia, showcases the aftermath of the liberation of Germany by American troops as seen through the eyes of the [ Read More ]

When we first meet Lore (Saskia Rosendahl), she seems innocent enough. She is taking a bath when her father (Hans-Jochen Wagner) -- an officer in the SS who has been off at war -- arrives at their home in a military vehicle. Lore runs over to the bathroom window, naked and sopping wet, to see what is going on. By the time Lore gets dressed and scampers downstairs, her family has already commenced packing their belongings. The Allied forces have taken control of Germany, so Lore's mother (Ursina Lardi) must hide her family in a secluded cabin, while her husband goes off to face the punishment of the American military. It is not long before Lore's mother must join her husband, leaving Lore as the sole teenage guardian of her young siblings. Lore must not only accept the fact that her parents are gone forever, but also that...

Lore
Directed by Cate Shortland
Written by Cate Shortland and Robin Mukherjee
Australia/United Kingdom/Germany, 2012
Carrying her infant brother in her arms, Lore (Saskia Rosendahl) and her siblings enter a building full of displaced people. The atmosphere is depressive, filled with the angst and despair of its occupants. Her baby brother is crying with hunger, but she can’t feed him. At only fourteen, she’s too young to breastfeed, and doesn’t know how.
Lore finds a woman with a child of her own and offers her some jewelry to act as a wet nurse. She obliges and proceeds to feed him. The crying stops, but Lore just stands there, weighed down by her sudden and unversed burden to sustain her brother’s life. Her mother used to breastfeed him, but she, and Lore’s father, was arrested. They were both Nazis. So is Lore.
Flash back to the beginning of the film.

- A little bit of fluff (Harald Zwart’s Pink Panther II), an Oscar hopeful (Stephen Daldry’s The Reader) and some prestige titles from master filmmakers who might have lost their touch and offerings from less-seasoned directors are among the world preems that have been announced in the Berlin Film Festival’s Competition and Out of Competition section). Some long-awaited films from the veterans in Sally Potter, Theo Angelopoulos and Chen Kaige (see pic) are being paired with filmmakers such as Moodysson, Bouchareb and Rebecca Miller. Along with Miller and Moodysson’s films, I’m looking forward to seeing Oren Moverman’s directorial debut – which will be soon a couple of weeks earlier at Sundance. Here is the complete ten list of films announced. The fest begins on the 5th of February.

While we eagerly await more info (and trailers) for the films playing at Sundance (and hopefully news on where Cory McAbee's Stingray Sam is going), the first competition and out of competition titles have been announced for one of the other biggest fests on the planet, the 59th Berlin International Film Festival, and all I have to say is Wtf? Pink Panther II is playing out of competition?! Who's running this menagerie? They redid the entire program this year, so I hope they're still going to have the genre goods.
