Details
Amen. (2002) is a gripping WWII drama based on true events. Set during a time when the Holocaust atrocities were unfolding, the story follows SS officer Kurt Gerstein as he witnesses firsthand the unspeakable horrors Jews are enduring in extermination camps. Driven by guilt and a desire to expose the truth, Gerstein embarks on a perilous mission to inform Pope Pius XII about the ongoing genocide.
In this heart-wrenching ordeal, Gerstein finds an unexpected ally in the form of young Jesuit priest Riccardo Fontana. Together, they navigate the treacherous landscape of political indifference and bureaucratic indifference, attempting to rally support and awaken the world to the magnitude of the Holocaust.
Their journey is fraught with challenges, as they face resistance from powerful figures within the Vatican bureaucracy who prioritize avoiding controversy over taking action. As Gerstein's credibility is questioned and Fontana battles internal conflicts, the duo must summon courage and resilience to fulfill their mission.
Amen. is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged film that sheds light on the moral choices individuals face during times of great crisis. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Costa-Gavras, this powerful drama delves into themes of guilt, complicity, and the power of speaking out against injustice. With its exceptional performances and poignant storytelling, Amen. offers a harrowing yet essential cinematic experience.
