Full Plot Details

In 1944, in Hungary, the wealthy Jewish industrialist Joseph Krauzenberg is forced by the Reichführer Heinrich Himmler to deliver his 3,000 employee factory; his palace with his collection of antiques and arts; a large amount in gold; and his house to the Reich. In return, the Nazis would send his big family that is arrested in Gestapo safe and sound to the neutral Switzerland and then to Palestine. Himmler schedules a dinner with Krauzenberg and his wife Rachel Krauzenberg to sign the contract and orders the butcher Eichmann to not do harm to the imprisoned Jews relatives of Krauzenberg. Himmer also send the SS Edelhein to check the security of the palace and the two German house servants of Krauzenberg, Hans Vassman and his beautiful pregnant wife Ingrid Vassman. Hans and Ingrid are actually the Jews David and Leila Steinberg and members of the resistance. When the Krauzenberg couple concludes the negotiation with Himmler, Ingrid discloses to the couple that Hans and she are Jews. However, the deal is closed and Joseph has no means to include the young servants in his deal.

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasThis handsome film is a splendid, stirring feat of the imagination.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 5/10 by Steven ReaA handsome Holocaust melodrama hobbled by a transparent and cartoonish script.
L.A. Weekly - 5/10 by Kim MorganWe get director John Daly's feel-good tedium and a waste of a performance by the magnificent Landau.
New York Daily News - 5/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanA few genuinely tense scenes are not enough to overcome a thin script, weak direction and an unceasingly high-strung score.
Boston Globe - 4/10 by Michael HardyDespite its handsome photography and a few memorable performances, The Aryan Couple is mainly notable for its inappropriate, blithe sentimentality.
Variety - 4/10 by Ronnie ScheibPicture's dubious brand of heroism, half-baked historical sense, simplistic dialogue, flat staging and barely formed characters make for sluggish sledding.
TV Guide Magazine - 4/10 by Ken FoxSet mostly over the course of a single evening, the film is lugubriously paced and filled with improbable turns of events.
The Hollywood Reporter - 3/10 by Frank ScheckDefinitely third-rate Holocaust material.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Dana StevensThe problem, as it is so often in well-intentioned movies of this kind, is that rather than illuminate the enormity of Nazism, The Aryan Couple trades upon our knowledge of it for emotional impact.
Village Voice - 2/10 by Melissa AndersonFeel-good historical fiction, The Aryan Couple insultingly seeks to soothe and comfort against the reality of atrocity.
