  • ""It begins on the night of the Reichstag Fire in February, 1933. It ends shortly after the infamous Night of the Long Knives in June, 1934. In between, it's one of the most spellbinding studies of corruption ever. ... Follows a German family's decline as the Nazi Party rises. Dirk Bogarde stars as a schemer who makes a Macbeth-like move to take over a steelworks and munitions empire on the eve of Hitler's campaign to eliminate all opposition. ... Helmut Berger makes his startling debut as the family heir, a handsome dandy who evolves into a sinister embodiment of unrepentant evil"--DVD sleeve."@en
  • "The Essenbecks, a family of German munition manufactuers driven by greed, decend into a spiral of corruption and collusion with Nazis in 1930s Germany."
  • "The decline and decomposition of the Essenbecks, a powerful German industrial family in the 1930s, is linked to wider developments at a climactic moment in history - the rise of Naziism. The movement of social forces is meant to be reflected in individuals. The film attempts to operate simultaneously on three levels: history, operatic drama (the original title Gotterdammerung invoked Wagner) and myth (Macbeth, Hamlet, Orestes), a striving for monumentality. Nowell Smith suggests that the members of the Essenbeck family are inadequate as emblems of the social forces then at work in Germany. 'In the last analysis the Essenbecks are only the Essenbecks' so that the film, conceived as tragedy, ends as grotesque - 'a void'"@en
  • "Visconti's study of a family's disintegration in greed, lust and madness of pre-war Germany. The power and fortune of the Von Essenbeck family remained intact even when Germany lost the great war and during the depression that followed. Now it's 1934 and the baron has summoned his family to a dinner that also brings a cousin rising in the Nazi party to the great house accompanied by a rising manager at the baron's company. Two little girls recite poetry in the parlor and then play hide-and-seek with their cousin Martin. Suddenly there is a scream. The baron has been shot with their father's gun and the father flees the country."@en
