“The big surprise last week during the Berlin Film Festival was a disastrous premiere for a long-awaited feature film, Jud Süß – Rise and Fall … Another film that takes even more outrageous liberties with Nazi history, moreover – Inglourious Basterds, by Quentin Tarantino – has been praised far and wide by German critics. The main difference appears to be that one film has an American director, while the other is German.”
