Goebbels and the Führer Unboxing

Joachim Lang’s chillingly thought-provoking historical drama Goebbels and the Führer delivers a quietly harrowing and austere exploration of Nazi propaganda through a blend of dramatized scenes and archival footage, drawing audiences into the disturbing inner workings of Joseph Goebbels (Robert Stadlober). Films like this are essential, forcing us to remember the past and how this sort of hatred and power can grow – indeed, chillingly prescient in our current political climate. A magnificent film that should be considered required viewing for all.

Synopsis

Goebbels and the Führer chronicles the final seven years of the Nazi regime, focusing on the complex and often volatile relationship between Adolf Hitler and his Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. As the mastermind behind the regime’s propaganda, Goebbels crafts films and media to rally the German populace for war and justify the Holocaust. As the tides of war turn against Germany, both men grapple with the impending downfall of their empire, leading to their ultimate demise in the Führerbunker in 1945.

Goebbels and the Führer is available on DVD and Blu-ray from Dazzler Media
