THE DISAPPEARANCE OF JOSEF MENGELE

Das Verschwinden des Josef Mengele / 2025 / Germany, France / 135 min

Josef Mengele, Auschwitz's evil doctor, hides in Argentina after WWII, living luxuriously among Nazi comrades despite his unease. As war criminals' captures make headlines, he flees to Paraguay, then Brazil, hiding on a Hungarian family's farm with Nazi admirers' help. Will the Angel of Death escape his past? Kirill Serebrennikov's parallel-timeline film offers a rare perspective on a war criminal's story, premiering in Cannes' Premiere selection.
