A gripping evening between courtroom and conscience
With Nuremberg, a historical drama comes to the screen of the Schauburg Film Palace in the series Film Wunsch, which goes far beyond classical storytelling. The film by James Vanderbilt intertwines psychodrama, legal film, and political contemporary history into an intense theatrical experience of a special kind – precisely observed, cast with high-caliber actors, and with a theme that resonates to this day. The screening will take place on August 23, 2026, at 12:30 PM. ([gelsenkirchen.de](https://www.gelsenkirchen.de/de/kultur/film__foto__medien/kommunales_kino/index.aspx?utm_source=openai))
A material that gets under your skin
At the center is the American military psychiatrist Dr. Douglas M. Kelley, who investigates the main perpetrators of the Nazi regime in the ruins of post-war Germany in 1945. Particularly the encounter with Hermann Göring develops into a nerve-wracking duel of charisma, manipulation, and moral distance. The film is based on Jack El-Hai's non-fiction book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist and is designed as a historical drama with psychological tension.

Production with historical impact
James Vanderbilt focuses not only on the Nuremberg trials but also on the fragile boundary between insight and entanglement. This creates a production that addresses power, guilt, ideology, and responsibility in dense, thrilling images. The casting of Russell Crowe, Rami Malek, and Michael Shannon gives the material additional presence and aura.
