Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Robert Harris's 1992 novel, written after he saw a photo of Hitler at a 1939 victory parade and wondered 'what if?'
The film's 1964 Berlin—clean, modern, terrifyingly normal—was shot in Prague and Cádiz, where Franco-era architecture provided unsettling authenticity.
