Featured review
Great miniseries and probably the best depiction ever of an historical event
I love historical movies and miniseries mostly because they almost always star actors I love, and NUREMBERG is certainly no exception. I saw it one sunday when it was aired like an entire movie on channel 7, and while 4 hours certainly look staggering, the time didn't seem to be that important. And if you ask why, read the following.
The miniseries is about the Nuremberg trials held after World War II ended. In the beginning attorney Robert Jackson (Alec Baldwin) has a meeting with Samuel Rosenman (Max von Sydow) about what he has to do in the trial and soon we see the courtroom cleaned up and then the trial begins, with Herman Goring (Brian Cox), Joachim von Ribbentrop, Fritz Sauckel and Albert Speer interrogated and then incriminated for crimes against humanity.
The production values are great, on par with those of historical movies such as SCHINDLER'S LIST or SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and you can see the effort put behind them. The acting is top-notch: Alec Baldwin, Max von Sydow, Michael Ironside, Christopher Plummer, Matt Craven and Brian Cox give all some of the nicest performances of their careers. And although there are few dead moments, the good outweighted the bad.
Don't ever miss it if you have a chance because of the acting and also because it's the mostly accurate depiction of the Nuremberg trials along with JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG.
