Helmut Schmidt - Der Lotse is a thought-provoking look at the life of Germany's fifth chancellor during some pretty turbulent times. The film dives deep into the pressures he faced, both at home and abroad, especially during that chaotic 'German Autumn.' It’s got this raw, gritty atmosphere that really captures the weight of his decisions—his loneliness in leadership, those moments where he had to stand firm against opposing forces. The pacing is deliberate, reflecting on the gravity of those events rather than rushing through them. It’s a documentary that not only showcases politics but also the human side of governance. Schmidt's stoic performance is striking and leaves you with this lingering sense of the complexities he navigated.
