Was wurde aus Goebbels' UFA?

About This Movie

This documentary, made by Reinold Thiel, takes a deep dive into the aftermath of Goebbels' influence on UFA, exploring the intersections of politics and cinema in post-war Germany. The atmosphere is quite somber, and the pacing feels methodical yet engaging, almost drawing you into an academic discussion rather than just a visual experience. Thiel’s approach is analytical, which might feel dense at times, but it sheds light on the legacy of film propaganda. It’s distinct in that it doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths, challenging viewers to reckon with a complex narrative of film history.

In terms of format history, this film seems quite rare, especially for its era and subject matter. It was originally produced for German television, which sometimes limits its availability in collector circles. However, it’s an intriguing piece for anyone interested specifically in the evolution of film politics post-World War II. Collectors might find it compelling due to its historical value and the unique perspective it offers on German cinema's transformation.
