SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
A closely observed West German reckoning-with-the-past drama, driven by a prosecutor’s dogged pursuit of Nazi-era truth amid institutional resistance and a restrained, period-specific atmosphere.
02
Why this pick
Pairs a legal investigation with Germany’s unresolved postwar crimes, unfolding through patient evidence-gathering and moral conflict rather than courtroom theatrics.
03
Why this pick
Its initially pragmatic lawyer is pulled into a politically charged case, giving the film the same satisfying movement from procedure to personal ethical resolve.
04
Why this pick
A taut political procedural in which officials manipulate an apparent death investigation; its brisk, controlled anger and institutional paranoia strongly complement Kraume’s film.
05
Why this pick
A restrained but increasingly devastating portrait of someone uncovering how a respectable society has concealed state violence, with moral awakening taking precedence over melodrama.

Bauer's driver finds his boss unconscious in the bathtub. He is taken to the hospital, while the police, politically motivated, suspected a suicide attempt. His opponents - especially Attorney General Kreidler and Paul Gebhardt of the Federal Criminal Police Office (Germany) (BKA) - triumph.
