"Amen." is a powerful and thought-provoking film directed by Costa-Gavras that delves into the moral complexities of wartime actions. Set during World War II, the story follows Kurt Gerstein (played by Ulrich Tukur), a German chemist who becomes increasingly troubled by his involvement in the production of Zyklon B gas used in concentration camps. As Gerstein grapples with his conscience, he forms an unlikely alliance with a young Jesuit priest, Riccardo Fontana (portrayed by Mathieu Kassovitz), who is determined to expose the atrocities being committed. The film explores themes of complicity, morality, and the struggle to do what is right in the face of overwhelming evil. With stellar performances from Mathieu Kassovitz, Michel Duchaussoy, Ulrich Mühe, and Ulrich Tukur, "Amen." is a gripping blend of biography, crime, and drama that sheds light on a dark chapter in history. Released in 2002, this film serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of speaking out against injustice, even in the most challenging circumstances.
