Synopsis

As Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels creates films and pictures used to prepare the Germans for Total War and the Holocaust. When the war is lost, he conceives his last staging, the most radical propaganda act still possible to him.

  • Review by Ekkard Bäuerle ★★★★ 8

    Der »Spiegel« wirft FÜHRER UND VERFÜHRER in mehreren Rezensionen vor, das Volk würde hier in die Opferrolle gebracht, das der Propaganda hilflos ausgeliefert sei. Das tut der Film m. E. nicht: Er arbeitet nur präzise heraus, wie groß die Bedeutung der NS-Propaganda bei der Außenkommunikation aller Entscheidungen war und wie eng Hitler und Goebbels in dieser Frage zusammen arbeiteten. Ganz gleich, ob es um die Erfindung von Kriegsgründen, die Stimulation des Antisemitismus, die Entspannung angesichts der Katastrophe durch Unterhaltungsfilme oder das Durchhalten bis zum Schluss ging: Immer gab es einen Plan der Manipulation, nichts war dem Zufall überlassen. In manchen Szenen nimmt sich Regisseur Joachim Lang Freiheiten, die allermeisten Aussagen und Situationen sind jedoch historisch bestätigt. Robert Stadlobers Goebbels ist hervorragend, auch wenn Ulrich Matthes Darstellung in DER UNTERGANG in meinem Kopf vermutlich für immer Goebbels Platz einnimmt.

  • Review by vr_willemijn ★½

    dit is echt zo’n film die je verspreid over 3 lesuren kijkt op de middelbare school en dat je het in die context wel een nice film vindt omdat het tijdens de les is. in realiteit geen al te best ding, vermoeiend lang zonder dat ik nou echt kan zeggen dat ik er iets van heb geleerd? meest indrukwekkende was het fragment van de oudere vrouw op het eind, maar dat was even indrukwekkend geweest zonder de voorafgaande film. prima hoor, geen aanrader.

  • Review by Luca Bruno 1

    As with many other unsuccessful films, the following question arises: Why didn't anyone realize that this isn't working during production?

    Now, I wasn't involved in this production, so I can only make assumptions, but I have a strong suspicion that, while watching rough cuts or being present at test screenings, even the filmmakers themselves came to the same conclusion most people watching this movie now will come to: Boy, this unfortunate, 2-plus-hour twin biopic about Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler (with a bit of Leni Riefenstahl sprinkled in) sure has a lot of Goebbels and Hitler in it – and not much else!

    And this is exactly why Joachim Lang's Führer und Verführer now begins with walls and walls of…

    Dass Benni vom Kekswichsen mal Joseph Goebbels spielt, stand jetzt auch nich auf meiner Liste.

  • Review by Reto Hochstrasser

    Oscillating somewhere between all too familiar Nazi phrases, anti-Semitic telenovela, dilettantism by the actors, ridiculous re-enactment, over-emotionalizing music and background noise and nasty cliché cementation - spiced up with a few contemporary recordings - which doesn't help either. And of course Wagner is playing on the record player... I thought I could use the film for my history class, but the flick is indigestible.

  • Review by dirtylaundri ½

    In a way, outrage over films like this one is not worth the trouble and maybe also a bit naive, because these reassuring, secure re-tellings of national history obviously will not die out, neither in Germany nor elsewhere. No need to get out the big guns each time it happens again. One might still point out though that a film this awkwardly pedagogical minded (starting with text inserts right at the beginning explaining in detail how we are supposed to react to what's coming) has no business whatsoever screening in theaters and does so only because of the structure of German film funding. And also that Robert Stadlober should have to answer to someone, somewhere, somewhen for the downright obscenity that is his performance in this.

  • Review by Florian Eisenmann ★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Now while I'm glad that we are still making movies to educate and remember the events of World War 2, this movie is not worth watching.

    This is a glorified TV-Production where 90% of the movie is men in rooms talking, 9% historical footage conveniently in places where the men would then go out of their rooms into elaborate sets and that would be expensive, and 1% survivors sharing their stories. Both the 9% and the 1% are jarringly disrupting the pacing, because the main focus is the life and influence of Joseph Goebbels. So every time the footage comes on and especially the interview bits with the survivors it feels wildly out of place because the rest of the…

    Ästhetisch wie moralisch in jeder Hinsicht minderbemittelt.

  • Review by IronWatcher ★★★

    Watched in the cinema (113th visit in 2024)

    Autumn 1938: Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels (Robert Stadlober) is in the deepest crisis of his life, both politically and privately. The "Führer" Adolf Hitler (Fritz Karl) has just forbidden him to see his Czech lover Lida Baarova (Katia Fellin) again, with whom he actually wanted to live together. Instead, he has to continue his marriage to Magda Goebbels (Franziska Weisz). In addition, his dream of becoming the second man in the state has receded into the distance. After the "Connection" of Austria and the annexation of the Sudetenland, Hitler wants open war, although the Germans, also encouraged by Goebbels' propaganda, are in the mood for peace. In the dark hours of the…

  • Review by max ★★

    Weird mix between documentary and movie.
    Weird mix between humor and explicit holocaust footage just for the sake of shock.
    Weird mix between some aesthetically pleasing shots and the cutter that used IMovie to cut this movie.

  • Review by Fabian Wallmeier 3

    Lange ist mir ein sinnloses Overacting nicht mehr so auf den Geist gegangen wie bei Robert Stadlobers clownesk grimassierendem und vermutlich selbst beim Brötchenholen sportpalastredenhaft überakzentuierendem Goebbels. Und dann dieser seltsame rheinische Einschlag die ganze Zeit. Groteske Performance, die aber nicht grotesk gemeint ist und dadurch tragisch missraten ist. Und überhaupt der Film: stellt keine Fragen, kennt keine Reibung, interessiert sich nicht für seine Figuren. Ihn interessiert nur seine Botschaft: Goebbels war böse. Wussten wir schon. Und wir hätten es auch dann verstanden, wenn nicht zwischendurch immer wieder Original-Aufnahmen vom KZ-Grauen und aktuelle Interview-Schnipsel von Überlebenden gezeigt würden. Das verkauft die Zuschauer:innen für dumm und stellt die Dokumente und Talking Heads in einen schmierigen Kontext, den sie nun wirklich nicht verdient haben. Doch, man könnte sagen, ich habe mich geärgert über diesen bleiernen Quälfilm.

  • Review by cinemagazine ★★★

    "Ondanks dat je regisseur Joachim A. Lang absoluut geen ambitie kan ontzeggen, bijt hij zich in ‘Führer und Verführer’ stuk op propagandaminister Goebbels. Wat je vooral ziet is hoe Goebbels van carrière- en rokkenjager verandert in een fanaticus en gaat geloven in de nazi-mythe die hij zelf helpt scheppen. Zal hij zich daarvoor in zijn graf omdraaien?"
