Past Run
Labyrinth of Lies
Frankfurt, 1958: nobody wants to look back to the time of the National Socialist regime. Young public prosecutor Johann Radmann comes across some documents that help initiate a trial against some members of the SS who served in Auschwitz. But both the horrors of the past and others’ hostility towards his work bring Johann close to a meltdown. It is nearly impossible for him to find his way through this maze; everybody seems to have been involved or guilty.
LABYRINTH OF LIES is Germany’s official submission for 2016 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.
“[A] fascinating account of how a dense fog of nationwide amnesia was dissipated by the relentless pursuit of justice.”
— Joe Leydon, Variety
