Follow the leader

Germany, 1945. Soldier Willi Herold, a deserter of the German army, stumbles into a uniform of Nazi captain abandoned during the last and desperate weeks of the Third Reich. Newly emboldened by the allure of a suit that he has stolen only to stay warm, Willi discovers that many Germans will follow the leader, whoever he is.

    Far from being blockbuster slop that slides from mind an hour after it ends, Robert Schwentkes first independent feature makes me want to seek out his earlier German films, like Tattoo and Eierdiebe. The Captain is a thoughtful, brutal and morbidly amusing study of the corrupting nature of power and the rise of evil.
