Patagonia, 1960. A German doctor (Alex Brendemühl) meets an Argentinean family and follows them on a long desert road to a small town where the family will be starting a new life. Eva (Natalia Oreiro), Enzo (Diego Peretti) and their three children welcome the doctor into their home and entrust their young daughter, Lilith (Florencia Bado), to his care, not knowing that they are harboring one of the most dangerous criminals in the world. At the same time, Israeli agents are desperately looking to bring THE GERMAN DOCTOR to justice. Based on filmmaker Lucía Puenzo's (XXY) fifth novel, the story follows Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death," a German SS officer and a physician at the Auschwitz concentration camp, in the years he spent "hiding", along with many other Nazi's, in South America following his escape from Germany. Mengele was considered to be one of WWII's most heinous Nazi war criminals.
Leave your thoughts about The German Doctor.
| AspectRatio.usMatt KelemenThe conclusion of the film is still difficult to follow, and without a satisfying ending we're left with a compelling set-up a charismatic cast and a character sketch of a war criminal in hiding. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookA thriller with a historical basis, 'The German Doctor' is a somewhat fictionalized glimpse at a ghastly real-life villain. |
| Film Comment MagazineSarah MankoffBado is a compelling and at times magnetic presence, and the film misses her whenever she's offscreen. |
| The SpectatorDeborah RossNerve-jangling. That may be the best word for it. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe film combines the muscular force of a Forsythian thriller with something purely eerie, static and atmospheric. Brendemühl brings a refrigerated menace to his role. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghPuenzo masterfully balances the film's thriller edge with disturbing details about Mengele's obsession with genetic experimentation, as well as the community of German expatriates in Argentina helping old Nazis elude arrest. |
| The New RepublicDavid ThomsonThe German Doctor is both predictable and oppressive. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonAmid the melodrama is a resonant, highly moral kind of horror movie. |
| NPRBob MondelloThe German Doctor is never showy or melodramatic — just a kind of true-life horror story about the helpful, soft-spoken monster in our midst. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerPuenzo may have started out to make something more ambitious than an intelligent, real-world horror thriller, but what she did achieve is still commendable. The melodramatics in this movie may be cooked up, but the fears it conjures are very real. |
