Review of Amen. (2002) by Carreh R — 08 Aug 2012
This is my second Costa Gavras film in less than a week, the frist being Z, and I loved both. Amen shows us how the world, and particularly, the Catholic church refused to act, even when given evidence, against the annihilation of the Jews by the Nazis.
Set in a story about a Vatican priest and an SS Officer who are trying to tell the Pope and the American ambassador, plus some other people, that Jews are being gassed by the Nazis in the multiple thousands per day this film exposes the sad truth that the world did not care enough.
Look for the same actor playing the main Nazi as in the film Inglorious Basterds. One can see why Costa Gavras and Quentin Tarantino chose him.
