This is a portrait of Bruno Lohse who was Herman Goering’s art expert and responsible for some of the plundering of art during the second world war. We are told Lohse‘s story by Jonathan Petropoulos, who became his friend in order to find out the secrets of where the art went.
This is an excellent look at a part of the war that we all are aware of but which hasn’t been explored. What happened to the great art treasures of the conquered nations. This film will tell you. It will also explain how these art plunderers managed to survive after the war (the plundering was seen as the least of the crimes committed).
As a history junkie I was in heaven. There was so much here that I hadn’t known or considered. My eyes were opened up to a great deal.
Additionally and most importantly, this is a hell of a story that is going to grab you and pull you along. I loved this film a great deal.
Go get some popcorn and see this.
