JOHN RABE
May 9th, 2010
JOHN RABE- 2008. Premise by Netflix. “Florian Gallenberger directs this gripping drama about John Rabe (Ulrich Tukur), a German businessman living in Nanking, China, who in 1937 used his Nazi party affiliation to save some 200,000 Chinese civilians from slaughter at the hands of the Japanese army. As Rabe labors to establish an official safety zone to shelter the innocent, he forms an unlikely friendship with an American doctor (Steve Buscemi). Anne Consigny and Daniel Brühl co-star.” Very good reviews.
9/10- It was nice to learn about this man but the movie was so full of melodrama that for me it took away from the importance of the topic. TRDB. Netflix.
