Selv om Stanley Kramers stort anlagte drama om de allieredes retsopgør med nazisternes ledere efter Anden Verdenskrig synes at høre en fjern fortid til, så er filmen ikke mindre dramatisk eller spændende af den grund. Og så er den tilmed utrolig velspillet. Især af Maximilian Schell og Richard Widmark som processens forsvarer og anklager, men også af Burt Lancaster, der får et menneske ud af sin rolle som en dybt medansvarlig, men angrende medløber.

Werner Herzogs film om Kasper Hauser er baseret på en sand historie.
Året er 1828, en ung mand kommer vaklende ind af den tyske by Nürnbergs byport i tøj der er alt for stor til ham.
Hvor kommer han fra, hvem er han? Ingen i Nürnberg har set ham før. Han kunne ikke svare sammenhængende da de spurgte efter hans navn, hans gang var mærkelig foroverbøjet.
Det lille samfund tager ham til sig, og langsomt får de lært ham at tale. Kasper Hauser fortæller en grusom historie, om at han har været indespæret i en kælder hele hans liv, han havde aldrig før set et andet menneske, et træ eller et hus...
Kasper Hauser bliver med tiden en jaget mand... Nogen vil ikke have at han lever...

Live performance, Bayerische Staatsoper, 2011. The Tales of Hoffmann (French: LES CONTES D'HOFFMANN) is an opéra fantastique by Jacques Offenbach that combines three short stories by E.T.A. Hoffmann into a haunting whole: a melancholy poet reflects on three women he loved and lost in the past: a mechanical performing doll, a Venetian courtesan, and the consumptive daughter of a celebrated composer. One of the questions this opera poses for any director is how to link the 'tales' of Hoffmann's three lost loves together and knit them satisfactorily into the Prologue and Epilogue. In this production, Richard Jones solves the puzzle by turning it into an autobiographical journey which ends with a grand meet-up of all the characters Hoffmann has encountered: for once, Hoffmann is not presented as a rollicking kind of drunken story-spinner, but rather a sad-eyed, sobered-up depressive, who reaches for the bottle only because his disastrous love life has gone wrong yet again.

Not everyone who nowadays drives on the A73 between Nuremberg and Bamberg knows that they are travelling on a former waterway. Still half a century ago, the old Ludwig-Main-Danube-Canal (in short: Ludwig-Canal) was located here, which represented the last puzzle piece to a navigable connection between the oceans. Build within a remarkable ten years’ time of construction, the canal, which was opened in 1846, was the realization of a small dream of humanity as it finally connected the North Sea with the Black Sea. Unfortunately, the idea could not support itself financially: Too powerful were the railroads, which saw its rise simultaneously, and which soon undermined the ambitious canal project’s future as they were in every regard the faster, more comfortable, and better means of transportation of the hour.
