What The Decent One Is About
Vanessa Lapa's documentary is built on Heinrich Himmler's private letters, diaries and photographs. Those papers were found at his house in 1945, were not handed to the proper authorities, and over the years reached the international auction market; Lapa's family bought them, and that collection is what the film rests on. The texts are read out by actors in chronological order, with no narrator and no commentary. What emerges is an uncomfortable closeness: a family man writing to his wife and daughter sits directly beside the orders he was signing in the same period. The method was argued over, since selection and editing are themselves an interpretation. It premiered in Berlin.
