THE GERMAN DOCTOR


 In German and Spanish with English subtitles


PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Alex Brendemühl: the German doctor Helmut Gregor
Diego Peretti: Enzo
Natalia Oreiro: his wife Eva
Florencia Bado: their 12-year-old daughter Lilith
Elena Roger: librarian Nora

REVIEW
Based on a true story it is not really a thriller as the promotional material would have you believe because the identity of the German doctor is revealed during the opening credits. Apart from the musical sound track that hints at pending doom from time to time, there is no sense of suspense. Instead it is a straight forward telling of how someone can meld in with others and live a normal life while harbouring awful secrets.

CLASSIFICATION
for thematic material and brief nudity.
