Der Neunte Tag [DVD]

In a Nazi concentration camp is Father Henri Kremer, a Catholic priest who is experiencing the horrors of the Holocaust. The Germans want the bishop of Luxembourg, without counting on the Vatican, to sign an agreement to allow the Nazis to act, something that goes against their morals, beliefs and faith. For this reason, a member of the Gestapo lets Father Kremer leave for nine days so that he can convince the bishop and sign the agreement, blackmailing him with freeing his family and giving the priests a better life away from the walls of the Dachau camp. Hard drama about the life and vicissitudes of a royal priest. The film is an adaptation directed by the German Volker Schlöndorff (The Tin Drum) and starring Ulrich Matthes (The Downfall), which presents a man of faith who finds himself in a terrible moral dilemma, where remorse and guilt They continually torment him, without leaving aside his deep beliefs, which will give him the strength to face the situation. The film has an excellent script, which highlights the conversations with Kremer and the Gestapo officer. Music and dark photography help make The Ninth Day a deep and recommendable film.
