In Nuremberg, James Vanderbilt turns one of history\u2019s most documented trials into a nervy psychological two-step. Working from Jack El-Hai\u2019s book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, the screenwriter behind Zodiac and Scream finds focus in holding cells where Rami Malek\u2019s<\/a> Douglas Kelley, a young American psychiatrist, works with the unrepentant remnants of the Third Reich. <\/p>\n It\u2019s an impossible duty: Rudolf Hess (Andreas Pietschmann) claims to have lost his memory entirely. Tasked with assessing the sanity of Hermann G\u00f6ring (Russell Crowe<\/a> at his most imposing) before trial, Kelley finds himself in an uneasy battle of wits. Concentration camps? G\u00f6ring blames Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich.<\/p>\n Kelley\u2019s patient is cunning, pompous, obdurate and, worst of all, charming. Imagine Judgment at Nuremberg refracted through Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter\u2019s relationship in The Silence of the Lambs.<\/p>\n The psychiatrist becomes both interrogator and admirer, a manipulated messenger who delivers letters to and from G\u00f6ring\u2019s family. His military advisers quickly become suspicious. Crowe, who walks a theatrical line between repulsive and magnetic, gives his best performance for years.<\/p>\n An exceptional ensemble cast bolsters the Oscar-winner. Michael Shannon<\/a> lends gravitas and circumspection as the US supreme court justice Robert H Jackson, leading the prosecution\u2019s effort to create an international legal precedent. Richard E Grant<\/a> effortlessly steals scenes as the British prosecutor David Maxwell Fyfe. Leo Woodall, playing the Jewish translator Howie Triest, lands the film\u2019s most effective emotional punch.<\/p>\n The old-school courtroom sequences, cooly lit by the cinematographer Dariusz Wolski, are sleek and tense. When the polished dialogue and meticulous staging make way for real archive footage from the camps, it\u2019s as wrenching as it ought to be.<\/p>\n And, for all the Hollywood gloss, Vanderbilt sounds an alarming relevance in G\u00f6ring\u2019s sneering claim that Hitler \u201cmade us feel German again\u201d and Triest\u2019s warning that \u201cit happened because people let it happen\u201d.<\/p>\n In cinemas from Friday, November 14th, with previews on Tuesday, November 11th <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nuremberg \ue9d9 \ue9d9 \ue9d9 \ue9d8 \ue9d7 Director: James Vanderbilt Cert: 15A Genre: Historical Drama Starring: Russell Crowe, Rami…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134690,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60,72779,78306],"class_list":{"0":"post-134689","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-james-vanderbilt","12":"tag-nuremberg-review"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
