Re: The German Doctor
In the late 1950s, a Patagonian family who have recently renovated a seaside hotel become acquainted with a friendly, if slightly distant German doctor, and he becomes their first paying guest. The foreign doctor slowly inserts himself into their lives and wins their confidence, showing a particular interest in the mother's pregnancy and the pint-sized 12-year-old daughter's slower-than-usual growth. The audience knows what the family does not: he is beastly Auschwitz physician Josef Mengele, a Nazi war criminal who evaded capture in South America until his death by drowning in 1979. Beneath its deliberate pace and picturesque photography, The German Doctor borders on playing as a horror film, drawing enormous and at times nauseating suspense from the idea of regular and sympathetic people having such evil in their midst without realizing it. There are echoes of such films as The Spirit of the Beehive and Pan's Labyrinth in the way the adult drama is seen through the 12-year-old's dreamily impressionable eyes. It is also an interesting portrait of postwar Argentina and the culture which made it such a desirable place for wealthy Nazis on the run, including a substantial German community and an Axis-friendly leader in Juan Perón.
