The period drama “I Is Another,” directed by Felix Randau, centers on Felix Kersten, a massage therapist to Heinrich Himmler who also sought a Nobel Peace Prize. The film is described as a psychological thriller with contemporary resonance and is expected to spark debate about historical fact and the nature of truth.
The fourth feature from German writer-director Felix Randau focuses on the largely forgotten figure of Felix Kersten. Kersten served as a massage therapist for Heinrich Himmler, a leading member of the Nazi regime.
According to Variety’s review, “I Is Another” is more than just a historical account; it's presented as a “handsomely upholstered psychological thriller.” The film aims to provoke discussion about what constitutes a verifiable historical fact and how easily truth can be manipulated, themes that resonate with current events. The review suggests the movie should “spark heated debate” on these topics.
The source highlights Kersten’s unusual ambition: he also pursued a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. This adds another layer of complexity to his character and the film's exploration of morality and influence during wartime.
