The Wannsee Conference

1984 1h 27m Drama List
Tomatometer 3 Reviews Popcornmeter Fewer than 50 Ratings
In 1942, a group of high-ranking Nazi officials meet and calmly discuss the logistics of the "Final Solution," the elimination of Jews from Germany. Along with notorious figures such as Adolf Eichmann (Gerd Böckmann), a number of lesser-known officers like Reinhard Heydrich (Dietrich Mattausch) debate plans of whether to reform the Jews, ship them elsewhere or simply end their lives. The film reenacts the actual minutes from the meeting and lasts precisely the same length of time.

Audience Member I had seen [i]The Wannsee Conference [/i]and [i]Fire[/i] once before. None of these blew me away, but it wasn't the hardest way to earn an A on my midterm. Although classroom desks and chairs suck to sit in for seven hours straight. I need to find something to do. My life is definitely an online journal now :confused: Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
