The Decent One

About This Movie

So, 'The Decent One' is this really intriguing documentary that digs into Heinrich Himmler's life through a collection of personal letters and diaries found in his family's home. It's not your typical war documentary; it has this eerie intimacy. The pacing can feel slow at times, but that's part of its charm, I suppose. You're kind of forced to sit with the discomfort of what you’re learning about Himmler, who was a key player in the horrors of the Holocaust. The juxtaposition of his mundane family moments against the backdrop of his monstrous deeds creates a haunting atmosphere. It’s all very surreal, and it leaves you with this unsettling feeling long after it’s over. Definitely a unique take on a subject that’s been covered a lot.
