Nuremberg – 6

It’s tricky to make a modern historical drama where the viewer has his own context to compare. It doesn’t help when the American characters played by Michael Shannon and Remi Malek come across as clueless and incompetent, while Russell Crowe’s Hermann Goering is masterful and compelling. But the film seems populated by symbolic figures, not real people. Still, I wish the famous trial could have made some sense, historic or dramatic.
