Hitler à Hollywood (Frédéric Sojcher, 2011)

The title of Frédéric Sojcher’s charming adventure-comedy and thoughtful exercise in polemical film history – co-starring Maria de Medeiros and Micheline Presle, and full of exquisite cameos – may be a tease, but you won’t come away from this movie disappointed.
(Jonathan Rosenbaum, Sight and Sound magazine)

When Maria de Medeiros starts filming her documentary on actress Micheline Presle, she is far from imagining that a story that started in the late thirties could unveil a plot that still put lives at risk today. The bits of a film that has disappeared since the Second World War put the Pulp Fiction actress on the trail of a forbidden work that could have changed the history of world cinema forever: Hitler in Hollywood. From Paris to Venice, going through Berlin, Brussels, Cannes, London, Ostend and Malta, the film consists in a fable, which playfully explores the power of the 7th art on our imaginations.
