Docudrama
This carefully researched docudrama follows Speer’s defence strategy and his inner battle with his own role in the Nazi state,to provide insights into the ambiguous personality of a man who many Allies saw as a “good Nazi,” while others considered him a clever opportunist.With no hard evidence available to support either view, the film leaves the ultimate judgement to the viewer. But how does the emphasis on factual accuracy affect the programme’s emotional and dramatic impact? |

Personally I am fed up with this “let’s save the planet!” type of television programme.We all know that the different experts,and even all the television crews, are aware that the Earth is in danger.And then what? Does anything change? Do we protect our environment more effectively? Do we consume less? Well, give it one more try with this fast-paced, brilliant Swedish documentary. Maybe this time...? |
