Résumés(1)

À l'hiver 1939, Joseph Goebbels cherche l'interprète principal du Juif Süss, film de Veit Harlan retraçant la chute de Joseph Süss Oppenheimer, conseiller financier du duc de Wurtemberg exécuté en 1738. Le ministre de la Propagande du IIIe Reich jette son dévolu sur l'acteur non juif Ferdinand Marian, qui présente selon lui de parfaits "traits sémites". Marié à Anna, qui a renoncé à la comédie pour dissimuler ses origines juives, Marian refuse le rôle au risque de voir sa carrière anéantie. Mais les menaces et les pièges de Goebbels ont bientôt raison de sa volonté. (Arte)

anglais One of the best behind-the-scenes films of the film industry in the Third Reich. Ferdinand Marian's journey to the lead role in the infamous film Jew Suss: Rise and Fall is portrayed as great material for the acting gigs of Tobias Moretti and Moritz Bleibtreu. Both have chosen highly attractive and effective acting roles to recreate notoriously real personalities. Unfortunately, Marian's professional and personal journey after the completion of Jew Suss: Rise and Fall is only sketched in brief and there is no information that Marian continued to work in at least ten other interesting films until the end of the war. As a minor theme, a song from Mariano's breakthrough hit, which he recorded with Zarah Leander in 1937, "La Habanera," is present throughout the film. This should be your next cinematic experience after you add Harlan’s Jew Suss: Rise and Fall. As for Moretti, he had already tried his hand at Hitler in Speer and Hitler: The Devil's Architect, and like Marian, he tried to follow up in a biopic of another German filmmaker, but Trenker and Riefenstahl - A Fine Line Between Truth And Guilt remained only in his shadow. How he performs in the role of Mackie Messer is yet to be seen. ()
