MORITURI

Every morning the Polish doctor Bronek visits the concentration camp to pass judgement on the fitness for work, and thus the survival, of the enslaved, the tormented. Until one day he decides to enable several of the condemned to escape ... Artur Brauner became a producer in order to make MORITURI, to bear witness to the annihilating Nazi terror that laid waste to whole populations, to erect a monument against forgetting in an art form that can be seen and understood by the masses. The result remains an aesthetically astounding work to this day: while the film bears the stamp of expressionism, it is also among the few German attempts to work with the stylistic elements of neorealism.
