Viggo Mortensen is the bespectacled Professor Halder, living in 1930s Germany with a neurotic wife, two demanding children and a mother suffering from senile dementia. He writes a book, in response to his own situation, making a case for compassionate euthanasia, and soon finds himself being reluctantly drawn into the Nazi party machine who hold up his work as advocating their own ideology. Based on the play by C.P. Taylor, this earnest film reminds us of the notion that for evil to flourish, good men need only do nothing. Also starring are Jodie Whittaker, Mark Strong and Jason Isaacs as Halder's Jewish friend, doomed to the camps.
