Nuremberg” Opens in Argentine Theaters With Star Turns and a Cautious Script

The film lands in a country shaped by later human-rights trials.

Overview

  • The release, handled by Diamond Films, is now playing at major chains including Cinemark, Cinépolis and Showcase, according to local listings.
  • Written and directed by James Vanderbilt, the drama adapts Jack El-Hai’s book and centers on U.S. Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley’s evaluations of Hermann Göring.
  • Early Argentine reviews praise Russell Crowe and Rami Malek’s performances while faulting the storytelling for playing it safe and sticking to a conventional frame.
  • Vanderbilt integrates documentary footage of the Holocaust without music and says he filmed the cast’s real-time reactions to heighten authenticity.
  • After a warm Toronto premiere with a prolonged ovation, the film did not convert festival buzz into a strong awards-season presence.
