The German Doctor

Set in the early 1960s, this gripping drama follows an Argentine family who unwittingly befriends a mysterious German doctor, later revealed to be the infamous Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele. As the family becomes increasingly entangled in his sinister world, the film explores themes of trust, deception, and the haunting legacy of the Holocaust. Directed by Lucía Puenzo, the movie features standout performances, particularly by Àlex Brendemühl in the titular role. While it did not receive major awards, it was Argentina’s official submission for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards.
