Wikipedia article
'Auschwitz' is a 2011 German drama film directed by Uwe Boll.
Plot
The film attempts to depict the harsh reality of the process inside the Auschwitz concentration camp by using brutal imagery. Book-ended by documentary footage as well as interviews with German teenagers about what they know about the Holocaust, Boll's intention is to show viewers just how depraved and sadistic life in the camp was.
Cast
Production
Boll shot the film in 2010 from February to March in Zagreb, Croatia. 'Auschwitz' was filmed on the set of 'BloodRayne: The Third Reich'.
Release
The film premiered on 13 February 2011 in Berlin. A number of critics boycotted the release "for being 'too gruesome'".
Boll also filed a lawsuit against the Berlin International Film Festival (the 'Berlinale') in 2011 as he objected to paying the 125 entry fee, stating "I don't believe the Berlinale handles all films fairly. Kosslick has his deals with the major studios and invites his old pals from the Filmstiftung days. There isn't fair competition".
