Summary: 2 Stars
Es geht (It was OK)aber es is nicht so gut (but not very good). There are plenty of other movies to watch that are much better such as Die Flucht and Comedian Harmonist.
Summary of Council of the Gods
Based on testimony from the Nuremberg Trial of chemical giant I.G. Farben and on the 1947 book 'I.G. Farben' by American author Richard Sasuly, COUNCIL OF THE GODS is the story of the collaboration between international corporations and Nazi scientists whose research contributed to the death of millions.The film focuses on chemist Dr. Hans Scholz, who becomes wrapped up in his political neutrality and closes his eyes to the fact that poison is being produced in his factory--poison to be used in the Nazi gas chambers. Standing before the judges at the Nuremberg Trials he must face the fact that he is partly responsible for the deaths of millions in the Nazi concentration camps.
Winner of the Special Prize in Karlovy Vary Film Festival, COUNCIL OF THE GODS features the electronic sounds of Oskar Sala (Hitchcock's The Birds), the film is powerful in its depiction of the moral dilemmas of the war, as well as of Cold War propaganda.
