“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.

Long Germany had little interest shown for the law-creating heroes Bauer. 2014 came “The Labyrinth of silence” in the cinemas, a year later, “The State against Fritz Bauer”. Now put the ARD after

Brown pasts

“The Act General” represents a -. Fictitious – monitoring of Fritz Bauer by the BKA in the center, and thus the large mistrust that the Adenauer policy brought against the Hessian attorney General. More important than the punishment of Nazi crimes was many post holders, “as the things look like” if this or that still comes to light.

Action? Will not occur. Is not necessary. Thoroughly, but never long-winded lit production the person Fritz Bauer, played by Ulrich Noethen that makes terrific schwäbeln past his cigarette the right servants. is provided to him at the side of the fictional character of the young prosecutor Joachim Hell (David Kross), in which Bauer young Germany wants to see, but bitterly disappointed him: Hell spying for the BKA his boss behind and puts the Secret Files “General” on , That farmer then simply place them carelessly lying in a pile next to the desk, one of the few shortcomings of the script.



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.

It is precisely this trip would not be the Fictional have been necessary. Bauer’s lonely struggle only to Eichmann’s fixing, then against the head of the chancellery Hans Globke – one of the closest confidants of Chancellor Adenauer – would be without these additional story rich and impressive enough been

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. Accordingly, it was not easy to switch from wrongdoing on the rule of law. “Laws are not written on parchment,” says finally a plenty frustrated Fritz Bauer. “But on sensitive human skin.”
