MB C @MB.Cinema Mar 3 The film follows Mengele’s life in hiding across Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil as he evades justice under false identities.....Structured in fragmented chapters named after his aliases, the non-linear script explores memory, guilt, and moral absence rather than suspense....Its stark visual style — shifting between black-and-white exile and rare color in Auschwitz — underscores the fracture between past and present.....While the restrained direction avoids melodrama, the slow pacing and lack of a dramatic climax may feel emotionally distant....A cold, thought-provoking meditation on justice denied and evil unpunished....

August Diehl is terrific and chilling at the same time, and filming in black and white was an inspired choice. I have no idea how historically accurate the movie is, I can only hope that Mengele's postwar life was as miserable as it's depicted here. See more Read all reviews
