André Singer: Night Will Fall

Jeg har ikke tid til at skrive en egentlig anmeldelse af André Singers imponerende og vigtige film, som jeg så på SVT i går aftes. Allan Berg vil muligvis stå for den. Men filmen er som historisk dokument naturligvis unik, historien om den – Bernsteins dokumentar blev lagt på hylden og ikke færdiggjort af politiske årsager – er interessant, det er historie og det er filmhistorie, og det er betryggende kompetent formidlet af The True Documentary Gentleman, André Singer, som har stået bag en perlekæde af dokumentarfilm, som producent (bl.a. af flere Werner Herzog-film) og instruktør. Og har været en konstant supporter af den kreative dokumentarfilm og af nødvendigheden af at arbejde sammen i Europa gennem f.eks. EDN. Han fortjener ros som Signe Byrge gør det, igen har hun og hendes selskab Final Cut for Real været medvirkende til at en vigtig film er blevet til. Og til at vi danskere, når vi vil, kan gå online og se den via DFI’s Filmcentralen.
