It is very moving in places and features some truly excellent performances especially Fehling and his love interest Friedrike Becht ('Hannah Arendt')who plays Marlene – it is in German with very good subtitles and runs for 123 minutes and is one that is very easy to recommend indeed. It does not sugar coat what took place but is also not horrific in terms of the graphic abuse that sadly occurred, especially at the hands of Mengele and co. This is an extremely well made film, the story is completely gripping and I loved the period detail too. We also have his personal life and that of those around him and who are swept up in the investigation. What follows are the travails he and his friends go through in order to do something, try to build a case and wake the German people from their wilful apathy towards the war. The problem is that Germany seems to not want to rake over the coals of the past and there are former Nazi's everywhere who just don't care. He encounters a survivor of Auschwitz and a journalist who want to bring the perpetrators of the atrocities that took place there to trial. "Labyrinth of Lies" is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!īased on the true story of a young Public Prosecutor from Frankfurt named Johann Radmann (Alexander Fehling – 'Inglorious Basterds').
#LABYRINTH OF LIES 2014 BDRIP 1080P X264 TORRENT MOVIE#
If you are in the mood for a top-notch quality foreign movie that has a very important lesson and reminder, I urge you to check out "Labyrinth of Lies", be it in the theater, on Amazon Instant Video or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray.
The Sunday matinée screening where I saw this at was surprisingly well attended, I am happy to report. The movie showed up this weekend at my local art-house theater here in Cincinnati, I figure this won't stick around for long. I have no idea why it is just now finding its way into US theaters, but better late than never. "Labyrinth of Lies" was released over a year ago. Check out the great looking cars! "Labyrinth of Lies" was Germany's submission for this year's Best Foreign Language Movie Oscar nominations, which should give you an idea how well the movie was viewed in its home country (the fact that it didn't get the Oscar nomination doesn't diminish the merits of the movie).

Besides the important moral and historical aspects, the movie does a great job portraying what daily life in the late 50s and early 60s was in West Germany. Kudos to the movie's producers for bringing us this important historical reminder. But as Radmann points out, "to remain silent is to poison our country's democracy". It appears that after WW II, the entire country went about its business as if nothing had happened, and collectively tries to whitewash Auschwitz from memory.
Couple of comments: this movie is an important reminder that the sentiment in Germany wasn't always what it is nowadays and has been for decades. At this point, we are 15 minutes into the movie but to tell you more would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out. Radmann soon finds that there is widespread resistance to his efforts to prosecute ex-Nazis. But soon he gets (and seizes) the opportunity to look into the case of a Waffen SS soldier who was a commander at Auschwitz and is now teaching in grade school as if nothing ever happened.
As the movie opens, we are told it is "Frankfurt-am-Main, 1958", and we get to know a young prosecutor named Johann Radmann, who is just starting his career, doing traffic violations. "Labyrinth of Lies" (2014 release from Germany original title "Im Labyrinth des Schweigens" or "In the Labyrinth of Silence" 122 min.) brings the story of the events leading up to the so-called Frankfurt Auschwitz trials in 1963.
