“The Act General “is the third film in three years on the lawyers Fritz Bauer – and a portrait of verkletteten of brown felt postwar Germany. But one should it ever with the facts not take quite as accurate.
“Hamse dat Aas last!”. The fact that the Mossad, taken the chief organizer of the Holocaust, Adolf Eichmann in Argentina and made it to Israel, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer pleased visibly; He suggests that his “good friend Ben Gurion” to send a congratulatory telegram. For the Hessian Attorney General Fritz Bauer but the Mossad owes the decisive indication of Eichmann’s whereabouts, the arrest is a major form of dream fulfillment. Although he does not say anything when he hears the news. His face says it all
Home in enemy territory
Fritz Bauer, an atheist with Jewish parents, a lawyer was in post-war Germany, but much more than that: an unflinching supporter of law and Justitias man in fighting after the end of the third Reich back up working former Nazis. he made friends with this indomitable attitude little. “When I leave my room, I enter enemy abroad,” Bauer said to have said at the time.

Bauer alleged love for men
“Fictional interpretation based securitized Facts “: So director Stephan Wagner describes the idea of this film. This means, among other things, that not only the BKA espionage history was added sealed, but also that Bauer is shown here as a homosexual, which is not a proven fact long ago.

Dear displace as process
“the Act General” is ultimately more than the portrait of one man, it is the detail drawn, bitter view of the still young but already encrusted Adenauer Germany, that so hard teamed up with the new start by processing instead displacement of the old.
