{fr} Hôtel Terminus: Klaus Barbie, sa vie et son temps / {en} Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie [1] (USA, 1985), directed by Marcel Ophuls. <doc>
The film is about the life of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie. The film covers Barbie's relatively innocent childhood, his time with the Gestapo in Lyon (where he apparently excelled at torture), through to the forty years between the end of World War II and his eventual deportation from Bolivia to stand trial for crimes against humanity in France. The film explores a number of themes, including the nature of evil and the diffusion of responsibility in hierarchical situations.
The film won the 1988 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, as well as the FIPRESCI Award at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival.
