The German Doctor

The German Doctor is a 2013 Argentine historical drama film on DVD, directed, produced and written by Lucía Puenzo.

Patagonia, 1960. A German physician meets an Argentinean family on the long desert road to Bariloche where Eva, Enzo and their three children intend to open a lodging house. This ideal family reawakens his obsession with purity and perfection.

Unaware of his true identity, they accept him as their first guest, gradually won over by his elegant manners, his scientific knowledge, his charisma and his money — until they discover they are living with one of the biggest war criminals of our times.

Critic Reviews:

• " Overall this film is really solid and good. It's worth seeing especially if you're looking for something to see that isn't all loud, CGI-heavy, and full of cartoon characters. " – Julian Lytle

• " A simple and straightforward tale that manages to build a sinister simmer. " – Nicholas Bell

• " A thriller with a historical basis, ‘The German Doctor’ is a somewhat fictionalized glimpse at a ghastly real-life villain. " – Linda Cook
