    Peter Josyph

     

    Dutch director and award-winning screenwriter Menno Meyjes wrote this debut feature film about a Jewish art dealer in Munich, Max Rothman, a wounded WWI veteran whose injury ended his career as a painter and whose gallery specialized in modern art. The story centers around a new but troublesome prospect for Rothman, a talented but politically concerning young painter named Adolf Hitler. John Cusack, who agreed to take no salary in order to get the film made, is superb as Rothman, and Noah Taylor's Hitler is both strange and disturbing. The film, which is not widely known, quite naturally sparked controversy due to its subject matter. A lively discussion will follow the screening.
