Trivia
In the movie Harlan mentioned an affair of Goebbels with a Czech dancer. This is an actual event from 1938, where Goebbels fell in love with Lida Baarova, who was starring in the German 1938-movie "Der Spieler", playing Nina, General Kirileff's daughter. Goebbels called Baarova a "complete beautiful woman" and was even thinking about getting divorce from his wife Magda, who herself had an affair with another man. After Magda asked advice by Hitler he refused it, also because the German army was planning invading the Sudetenland in that moment. After a personal talk between Hitler and Goebbels, he took the divorce request back, which made Lida Baarova to a Persona non grata. However according to Czech sources Baarova didn't wanted it this affair but had no choice, as she was afraid of Goebbels and his love letters where he described himself and her as Adam and Eve living on an island. In later talks Goebbels always denied an affair with Baarova.

A fascinating film

This is a fascinating and gripping film. I heard it was discredited at the Berlin Film Festival, but I cannot understand why. Whoever says it's a bad movie, is some sour critic with a bad taste, and when these are together, they infect one another mutually with their moods (or they think it chic to have this view). Nobody should avoid this film only because of their view of it. Nobody but you yourself knows your taste, and the way in which something enters your mind in the strongest way.

And nobody really knows the details that happened to Ferdinand Marian, the exact words that were said, the exact situations. A historical piece like this is never absolutely correct,the real proceedings are lost to us, and therefore different angles of view are allowed, and should be seen as such. And this one was a very fascinating interpretation, that held me captive until the end. This means especially the view on Goebbels, and I'll never forget the color that Moritz Bleibtreu gave him.
