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.
