Harlan

Though almost forgotten today, Veit Harlan was one of Nazi Germany's most notorious filmmakers. An unrepentant and blindly obsessive craftsman, no figure—save for Leni Riefenstahl—is as closely associated with the cinema of the Holocaust years as that of Joseph Goebbels' top director. In the Shadow of “Jew Süss” is a searing portrait of the controversial filmmaker and an eye-opening examination of World War II film history.
