Goebbels and the Führer review – private life of propagandist shows grotesque heart of Nazism

Joachim Lang’s bleak film shows a preening Goebbels and a careworn Hitler as they battle to convince the German public, and themselves, they will win the war In an appropriate spirit of cynicism and bleakness, German director Joachim Lang has made a film about the private life of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, the Hexenmeister or chief sorcerer of lies, and his always strained relationship with Hitler. Robert Stadlober plays the preening and self-pitying Goebbels and Fritz Karl is a careworn Hitler. Franziska Weisz plays Goebbels’s wife Magda, who at first resented his infidelities with showbusiness starlets but for the sake of the Fatherland submitted to the public image of a good Nazi wife and mother of six adorable children – whom Joseph and Magda finally murdered in the bunker before killing themselves. In its subversive, austerely satirical way, the film feels almost like a B-side to Oliver Hirschbiegel’s Downfall from 2004, and Lang has perhaps even inhaled, just a little,...

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler passionately kissed on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler passionately kissed on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival. Yesterday in the Côte d'Azur, within the framework of the 75th Cannes Film Festival, the premiere of the biopic "Elvis" by Baz Luhrmann, starring a young 30-year-old actor Austin Butler, took place. By the way, after watching the film, the audience applauded for 12 minutes, but this did not break the record of Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth," which was not released after the whole 22 minutes! 20-year-old Kaia Gerber came to Cannes to support her lover. They first appeared on the red carpet separately but later reunited for a passionate kiss. The eyes of the audience all evening were riveted to this couple, who looked incredibly happy and in love. The model was dressed in a luxurious red dress with elegant thin spaghetti straps with bareback and black heeled sandals; the image was complemented by diamond studs. Kaya's hair was pulled into a messy bun, and her minimalist make-up was done in peach tones. Austin chose a dark suit for a secular exit, on the lapel of which a miniature white and purple bouquet was attached. Recall that Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler were first spotted together in December 2021, and from that moment on, the couple, who, by the way, have a 10-year age difference, have been inseparable. Prior to this, the model met with the actor of the TV series "Euphoria" Jacob Elordi and Austin - with actress Vanessa Hudgens (their romance lasted eight years but did not lead to anything). But back to Cannes: the Elvis Presley biopic generated a lot of interest from the public and the jury, which, of course, greatly encouraged the director of the film, Baz Luhrmann, who hopes to recreate the success of 20 years ago, when he brought the Moulin Rouge to the Cannes Film Festival with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.
