Based on an arresting true story, The Captain follows an enigmatic German army deserter, Willi Herold (Max Hubacher), after he stumbles across an abandoned Nazi captains uniform in the final weeks of World War II. Newly emboldened by the allure of a suit he stole only to stay warm, Herold discovers that many Germans will follow the leader, whomever that happens to be. A parade of fresh atrocities follows in the self-declared captains wake, serving as a reminder of the consequences of social conformity and untrammeled political power. Simultaneously a historical docudrama and sociological examination with undertones of ghoulish absurdity,The Captain presents fascism as a system to be gamed by those most casuistic and unscrupulous.

Surprisingly good and different than other WWII movies

This title is not like any other typical WWII film. There are no epic battles to witness and no glory for the viewer to hope for. Instead, the film takes a dark humanistic approach to explore the dynamics of power and authority. The quote "Power attracts the worst and worst, it corrupts the best" comes to mind when watching events unfold through many dialogue intensive scenes of the film. Others may see the movie dragging because of all the dialogue but for me, it's a chance to explore in depth the characters and their realistic reaction/behavior in the story. Although certain points of the plot can seem over dramatize which reminds me that the notion of this being based on a true story should be taken with a grain of salt. But overall, it feels authentic for the most part and it's refreshing.
