Description: A chilling silence, broken only by the ticking clock of conscience, permeates Costa Gavras's "Amen." This isn't just a historical drama; it's a visceral exploration of moral cowardice in the face of unimaginable evil. Ulrich Matthes delivers a haunting performance as a conflicted priest wrestling with his faith and the horrific reality of the Holocaust. The film's power lies not in spectacular action, but in the agonizing internal struggle it depicts, forcing us to confront our own capacity for complicity. "Amen" is a masterclass in understated tension, leaving a lingering unease long after the credits roll. A must-see for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of faith, guilt, and the enduring power of silence.
