The Nazi propaganda mastermind behind Hitler speaks in first person as actor Kenneth Branagh reads pages of the diary kept by the chief of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, revealing the man's most inner thoughts. Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945) was a symbol of Germany's Nazi regime and a twentieth-century icon of maniacal cruelty. His name has been synonymous with cynical, unscrupulous, and at times successful, propaganda. The life of Joseph Goebbels is far more complicated and disturbing than labels like "genius of spin" or "Reich Liar-General" would suggest. The chronicle shows how Goebbels continually "restaged" and reinvented himself -- from his early days as a radical "popular socialist" to his tragic end. The film lets Goebbels speak for himself through the diaries he kept without interruption from 1924 to 1945, as never before seen historical footage from German archives traces the life of the second most powerful man of the Third Reich, detailing his initial attraction to the Nazi party and his adoration of Hitler. The result is a fascinating psycho-gram of a man who careened extravagantly between self-pity, wild extermination fantasies, and political excesses.
Leave your thoughts about The Goebbels Experiment.
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyAlthough the film's conclusion is rushed and unsatisfying, "The Goebbels Experiment" is a priceless document of one of Nazi Germany's cruelest and most effective architects. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy KleinWhat emerges is a view more complex than Goebbels's usual image, without any hint of revisionist excuse-making. |
| VarietyDerek ElleyA man whose name has become a byword for pure evil gets a disarming makeover in The Goebbels Experiment. Far from being the horror show expected from its title, Lutz Hachmeister's cool, almost anti-dramatic docu paints a portrait of an insecure manic-depressive solely through extracts from Joseph Goebbels' own voluminous diaries. |
| New York PostKyle SmithSeeing what Hitler's propaganda minister saw, hearing only his diary entries and what he heard, we effectively live inside the monster's head. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorBrilliantly edited for drama and irony, The Goebbels Experiment juxtaposes little-seen German propaganda films with excerpts from Goebbels' diary. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealA chilling and often illuminating portrait. |
| Bangitout.comJordan HillerIt is hard to go wrong when your research turned up reel after reel of Nazi era footage and dozens of audio tapes from the regime. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineWhile the diary entries fascinate, it's the rarely seen footage that makes The Goebbels Experiment a must-see. |
| culturevulture.netPhil FreemanA fascinating film that provides new insights into Goebbels' personality |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghWould be funny if it weren't so horrifying. |
