Full Plot Details

Munich, 1918. German-Jew Max Rothman has returned to much of his pre-war life which includes to his wife Nina and their two children, to his mistress Liselore von Peltz, and to his work as an art dealer. He has however not returned to being an aspiring painter as he lost his dominant right arm during the war. He is approached by an aspiring painter, a thirty-year old Austrian war veteran named Adolf Hitler, who wants him to show his works. Although he doesn't think the paintings are all that original and he doesn't really like Hitler as a person, Rothman takes Hitler under his wings if only because of their camaraderie of being war veterans, and knowing that Hitler had nothing and no one to come back to after the war unlike himself. Rothman believes that Hitler has promise if only he can find his original artistic point of view. In part out of need for money, Hitler, on the urging of Captain Karl Mayr, agrees to work for the army as a political spokesman in anti-Semitic propaganda. Slowly, Hitler's view becomes a holistic one of a new world, where he begins to meld his art and politics. Rothman becomes excited about Hitler's artistic viewpoint, despite its anti-Semitic bent. The question becomes if the sentiments behind the view will take over its artistic merit.

Movie Reviews

Houston Chronicle - 10/10 by Bruce WestbrookOffers a persuasive look at a defeated but defiant nation in flux.
FilmStew.com - 10/10 by Susan MichalsMax is also an intimate portrait of modern art; of the birth of the expressionist movement and great artists. . .
Cinemaphile.org - 10/10 by David KeyesTaylor is unforgettably convincing in this material, so raw and merciless in his dramatic thrust that we never doubt he is playing a certified lunatic.
Mark Reviews Movies - 9/10 by Mark DujsikAn intelligent and utterly compelling hypothetical question in which scholarly musings and dramatic irony come together to create a powerful, thought-provoking experience.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordTaylor's Hitler is ironically too avant-garde an interpretation
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThough everything might be literate and smart, it never took off and always seemed static.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenAs visually arresting as it is controversial, 'Max' sets up a wholly credible, fictional relationship between history's worst anti-Semite and a Jewish intellectual.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Joe LeydonAn admirably intelligent and ambitious piece of work, darkly clever yet grimly purposeful as it considers the ironies of history and the vagaries of happenstance.
Detroit News - 8/10 by Tom LongIf it's not a completely successful film, it is at the very least an intriguing effort to humanize the demon.
Film Scouts - 8/10 by Jason GorberIt's a very philosophical film, with an interesting and somewhat fearless exploration of Hitler the man.
