Of all the tales from Weimar Germany there is none stranger than that of Zishe Breitbart (Jouko Ahola). He was a Jewish blacksmith’s son who became a sensation in Berlin in the 1930s performing as a mythical Nordic-style strongman. His employer was con-man, cabaret show promoter and self-proclaimed mystic Hannussen (Tim Roth) who dreamed of forming a Ministry of the Occult in Hitler’s government. As anti-Semitism took hold, Hannussen’s star act decides he has been chosen by God to warn his people. Werner Herzog’s fundamental and quite brilliant allegorical fable boasts... an original score by legendary composers Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt. Special Features: Trailer Image bank [show more]

The year is 1932, and young Jewish blacksmith Zishe Breitbart (Jouko Ahola) travels to Berlin, where he has accepted an appointment to appear as a strong man at Hanussen's Palace of the Occult. His new boss soon asks him to perform dressed as the Aryan hero Siegfried in order to please the Nazi clientele, and despite his reservations, Zishe agrees; but when his mother sees him in costume he rejects the charade, and declares on stage that he is Jewish, which results in a riot at the club. Meanwhile, he gets to know the club's owner Erik-Jan Hanussen (Tim Roth), a clairvoyant and hypnotist who has secrets of his own. Written and directed by Werner Herzog.
