Review of Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) by Henrik S — 18 May 2014
A powerful and extravagant "moral thriller", where all twists, turns and surprises stem not from some chases or great reveals but arguments that distort, recontextualize, pervert and liberate the views on all the horrible atrocities that polluted the Third Reich.
A great film with performances that leave you speechless, a direction that leaves room for the actors to relish in their art, yet sublte tricks of light and perspective reflect the mood of the courtroom and the thin line between good and evil, the thin nature of which makes it the more dangerous to judge, be judged and trying to find the right motiviation to do good, without letting yourself dragged into the world of darkness yourself.
Should not be missed by anyone who considers himself even someone remotely interested in film. Montgomery Clift shows why he is probably one of the greatest actors that have ever lived.
