About Der Vater eines Mörders
Germany, 1928: a pupil attends a Greek lesson in which the head of his school, Oberstudiendirektor Himmler, takes over from the teacher. Himmler is in fact the father of the eponymous murderer, Heinrich Himmler. The film is based on Alfred Andersch's last story.
Directed by Carlheinz Caspari, Der Vater eines Mörders leans on a strong ensemble — Hans Korte, Roland-Momme Jantz, Jörg Falkenstein — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1985.
