Product Description
Long recognized as history's most incendiary film, Jud Suess was the cultural centerpiece in Joseph Goebbels campaign against the Jews. Released in 1940, it was a box office sensation across Germany and Europe; alongside the movie's theatrical distribution, it became a staple of Nazi propaganda evenings organized by the Hitler Youth, SS and others. At once a rousing melodrama and murderous antisemitic incitement, the movie draws loosely from historical events from the early eighteenth century, when Jud Suess Oppenheimer, financial advisor to the Duke of Wuerttemberg, was subjected to a sensational trial and gruesome execution. The film depicts Suess as a figure of cynical cunning and malign will, a sexual predator sowing corruption everywhere; his promotion of Jewish emancipation brings Christian Wuerttemberg to the brink of moral and social ruination. That these qualities are conveyed through Ferdinand Marian's stunningly charismatic performance as Suess suggests something of the film's disturbing power even as it acknowledges Jewish misery, Jud Suess argues for still more lethal, pitiless solutions to the Jewish question. A key historical document of the twentieth century, Jud Suess remains a deeply unsettling cinematic experience. Directed by Veit Harlan; music by Wolfgang Zeller; featuring Ferdinand Marian, Werner Krauss, Heinrich George, and Kristina Soederbaum. Germany, 1940, B&W, 95 minutes, German dialogue, Switchable English, French & Italian subtitles.
