Karl May
This ethereal, three-hour biopic is the middle film in Hans-Jürgen Syberberg’s “German Trilogy” on the mythological foundations of the Third Reich. By fusing theater, music, and cinema, Syberberg conjures up Karl May (1842-1912), the immensely popular German author, who set many of his adventure novels in an idealized version of the American Wild West. His tales of the cowboy and the Ubermensch alike were beloved by many, including (Our) Hitler, who supposedly ordered his generals to read May works after defeats in the Russian campaign.

'The Rest Is Silence, a German-made attempt to update Shakespeare, is one of the best and least self-conscious of this minor genre. As indicated by the title, the film's script is a "mufti" version of Hamlet, with young Hardy Krüger trying to prove that his uncle has killed his father. Direct references to the Shakespeare original abound, right down to the re-enactment of the crime for the benefit of the Uncle and the periodic appearances of the ghost of the hero's father.'

Действие фильма происходит в 1941 году. Нацистская Германия еще находилась в зените своих военных успехов, но все меньше людей верили в вечность и непогрешимость национал-социализма. К числу таких сомневающихся принадлежал и генерал Гарри Харрас, знаменитый немецкий ас, герой Первой мировой войны, занявший при Гитлере высокий пост в немецкой авиации. Харрас презирал выскочку ефрейтора, ненавидел созданный им преступный режим, однако служил ему верой и правдой. Но двойственность Харраса делает его позицию крайне уязвимой. Свободомыслие генерала выводит из себя адептов гитлеровского режима. Но и члены антифашистского подполья не доверяют ему, зная его как безотказного пособника национал-социализма. И в конечном итоге обе стороны подписывают Гарри Харрасу смертный приговор. Участившиеся акты саботажа на вверенных ему заводах окончательно компрометируют его в глазах гитлеровского режима. Загнанный в угол преследованиями гестапо, Харрас пытается найти спасение в бегстве.

The setting is Lugano (Switzerland), where an apparently very important world conference takes place. The film tells the story of the young Kitty (Hannelore Schroth), who works as a manicurist at the Eden Hotel, and who in the course of events gets to know both a young journalist (Christian Gollong) and the English minister of economics (Fritz Odemar). A lot of wild mix-ups, comic situations, a love story and occasional singing ensue, and in the end most of the VIPs have gained their share of laughter… There’s also a great performance by Paul Hörbiger as the hotel porter. For a 1939 film made in Germany, “Kitty” is remarkably irreverent and satirical about politics.
