ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] a bitter reminder that those in authority will continue to abuse their authority with impunity knowing that even if they are caught there will be plenty of similarly dirty allies to protect them.
User Review - 10/10 by Shawn W"Hotel Terminus..." is much more than a "hunt down a fugitive Nazi" motion picture. It offers the best exploration of (political) collusion with evil I have ever seen on the screen. Everyone, of every ideological (facist, conservative, liberal, revolutionary socialist) stripe, is complicit, save the likable two farmer twins---members of the French Resistance. One complicit character"comes clean", a most unlikeable aging royal. His explanation for signing up as a wartime French volunteer for the German military's Wehrmacht is entirely plausible. His remorse believable. Everyone else (but the twins} hide from the truth. Humanity is scary! Evidently, being a sheep during rough times is more than common. "Hotel Terminus..." proves, it's the rule!
User Review - 10/10 by Scott R"This motion picture is dedicated to the late Madame Bontout, a good neighbor."
User Review - 8/10 by Martin TFascinating doc that brings to life the whole atmosphere of the historical events that lead to Klaus Barbie's trial in 1988. At times, especially during the first hour, the details don't seem relevant and the pic drags. But overall, it builds to some extremely interesting questions on cultural memory and the meaning of justice.
User Review - 8/10 by Jeff BVery good and quite fascinating documentary about the nazi officer Klaus Barbie who after World War II went into hiding until finally being caught 40 years later and brought to trial in France. At 4 1/2 hours long, it's a bit tough to get through at times, but there are a lot of very interesting moments, especially the last hour or two. But my one problem with this film (and I guess I could say the same for Marcel Ophuls other documentary The Sorrow and the Pity) is that the film just jumped right into the interviews without really having a backstory. I didn't know anything about Barbie or the American and French involvement with him, so I had trouble keeping up with the interviews (and there are a ton of them). Still, this very informative and worth the watch.
User Review - 6/10 by Jim HA French documentarian copiously researches the life and death and career of Klaus Barbie. Most narratives about World War II and the Nazi regime are whittled down to rather simple documentaries of Nazi atrocities and good finally prevailing over evil. But Hotel Terminus, at an excruciatingly thorough four and a half hours, does not boil anything down. It's difficult to understand the documentarians' point, and I think the film would've been improved with a voice-over that allows us to understand how each piece of testimony fits in with the larger picture, but what I gather from the film is that the aftermath of WWII is more complicated that a mere triumph of good over evil. In fact, when it comes out that the CIA had dealings with Klaus Barbie, it seems that the film reveals that sorting out the good guys from the bad guys from the useful guys from the ugly guys is more complicated than one might expect. Not everyone wearing a swastika was evil, and not every evil person wore a swastika. I think that's the film's thesis, but I can't be sure. Overall, after watching a five-hour documentary on Nazis, I don't know if I can handle The Sorrow and the Pity, which is coming up ...
