5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DIE FOR??
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2007
Verified Purchase
The film begins in the Dachau concentration camp, one of the most brutal. We stay there long enough to meet Father Henri Kremer and his fellow clergy prisoners and to experience the day to day brutality and persecution they endure. One day, Henri is asked to follow the guard. Fearing the worst, a fellow pastor was just hung from a cross, he heads toward the area where the crosses are set up. Instead, he is redirected to the Commandant's office where, to his utter amazement, he is given his release. He boards the train to his home in Luxembourg. Trudging his way home in the snow from the station, he is picked up by the head of the Gestapo, Herr Gebhardt and told to report to his office promptly in the morning where he will discover, it's not a release he was given but a nine day pass. So begins Day one of nine in which he is to persuade the Bishop of Luxembourg to cooperate with the Nazis or he and his fellow clergy will be transferred to a death camp in the east. Will Father Kremer compromise his faith to save his and the others' lives? Every day he must report his progress to Gebhardt, personally, who uses every psychological trick he knows to persuade Henri to cooperate. Gebhardt is really Evil incarnate. It is a showdown between religion that would use power to dominate and control versus faith that seeks to serve and to love. It is the ultimate showdown of good and evil-the one with the weapons and the power and the one with love and faith. This is a powerful story that never lets up. It is intense to the end. What would you do in the same situation? Do you believe anything that you would be willing to die for? WWW.LUSREVIEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM

5.0 out of 5 stars Younger Generation should watch this
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021

First of all August Diehl is in this film he played the Gestapo Nazi from Inglorious Bastards this actor is why I bought this film. The actor playing the priest Ulrich Matthes, gave a fantastic performance,

The Holocaust has a lot of untold stories and the Holocaust needs to be studied and examined over and over again. Todays younger generation blindly throws the term NAZI around minimizing what they really are and what they did.

With out giving too much away-

It goes over loyalty to ones family

family is not always blood

Family is formed through crisis with people not related to you

The film gave a pretty good performance about hunger, you will feel it.

After this film you will understand the difference between being free and not, which is why some of the younger generation should watch this film and others like it.

Those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it.

I ordered this DVD because I lived under the Nazis, and went through a simular hell, and wanted to show some one here what the Nazis did. The movie itself is what it supose to be, but I did NOT like this down right TRASH / GARBAGE of previews that come first. I believe if I BUY a DVD or any other type of video I like to watch the movie that I paid for, and not some trashy / garbage of previews, or any kind of previews. I hope I can find a way to remove that TRASH from this DVD. Folks look out, producers like to show GARBAGE previews on their DVDs, I hope every one REFUSES to buy DVDs that have any kind of PREVIEWS on it. We pay for the movie, NOT previews. Especially when they are GARBAGE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent film!
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2021

Its easy to forget that the early prisoners were against the Hitler and the Nazis, including in this case Catholic priests. As the Nazis wanted the priests to collaborate, they chose their fate in the prison camps.
I think it really shows their true belief in God in order for them to overcome the worst situation. I did read that half of them died, but at least half survived, and fortunately the Nazi regime was short lived when compared to the past German kingdom and the thereafter of a Democratic country. These films are important for us to never forget how evil the Nazi regime was, even though they can be hard to watch, so something like that kind of dictatorship never takes over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent film! I wish Americans made movies like this.
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2005

This is a story partly about how the Catholic Church has been maligned and mistreated vis-à-vis its so-called collusion with Nazi Germany. When viewed in light of the political "numbers game", actually they (including Pius the Pope) may have been weighing the greater good vs the greater bad in decisions/non-decisions they made. Who are we (USA) over 2000 miles away to really understand a Vatican and Europe surrounded and intimidated by Nazi soldiers every day?

Specifically, this is a movie about the real imprisonment of scores of Catholic priests in the infamous Dachau Concentration Camp. It centers on political intrigue. But, more so though, it is about faith and courage in the face of certain death.

A very powerful movie. I am amazed that it was actually made by Germans, indicating a sincere sorrow for their country's past sins and a willingness now to confront these head on.

It's one of the very best movies of the Nazi era genre I have ever seen. It's a fast moving thriller of a film. It is in German, with very good English subtitles. Bravo Zulu to all actors. Excellence.

A hidden gem of a film! Thank you German friends! I wish we in America made such films with such depth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truth trumps propaganda
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021

This priest survived because he had his 'come to Jesus Christ' meeting and recognized that (...'recognize the day of your visitation..'). He made a free will choice to 'sin no more' and only by grace through faith, despite extenuating circumstances, courageously choose the right choice, then the next right choice, giving all glory to Jesus Christ forever. His brother Roger, was what we would call nowadays pragmatic and/or even 'resourceful', but just like the difference between Jesus Christ (obedience) and judas-iscariot (willful disobedience), its courage, not mere pragmatism, that upholds and underpins principles.

Tandis qu'un prélat est interné dans un camp de concentration, des commanditaires nazis lui propose neuf jour de permission pour retrouner dans son Luxembourg natal de sorte à demander à l'évêque luxembourgeois de prendre parti pour le nazisme et de quitter la résistance. Avec des dialogues profonds sur le pouvoir de la foi et de la raison contre les idées qui ignorent des notions de piété et des images fortes des conditions de vies des déportés, ce film retrace des événements vrais avec une précision et une sensibilité rares.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicht mit der moralischen Brille
Reviewed in Germany on March 20, 2012
Verified Purchase
Auf den ersten Blick wirkt die Geschichte des Henri Kremer unwirklich. Doch genau diese Irritation ist der Moment, der den Film 'Der neunte Tag' ausmacht. Der luxemburgische Priester Henri Kremer wird aus dem Priesterblock des Konzentrationslagers Dachau beurlaubt. Dies geschieht mit einem Auftrag, den die regierenden Nationalsozialisten mit auf den Weg geben. Henri Kremer soll den Bischof von Luxemburg auf den Kurs der Nationalsozialisten einschwören. Der luxemburgische Würdenträger steht dem NS-Regime mehr als kritisch gegenüber.
Der luxemburgische Bischof hat einen ausgesprochenen Sinn für die Symbolik, wenn er jeden Mittag das Glockenläuten der Domkirche als Zeichen des Protestes gegen die Diktatur intoniert. Den Sinn für die Symbolik pflegt aber auch der Film 'Der neunte Tag' bis zur letzten Minute. Es ist ein Film, der unter die Haut geht. In der Person des Henri Kremer, der ganz großartig von Ulrich Matthes gespielt wird, wird die Ambivalenz sichtbar, die den damaligen Menschen innegewohnt haben muß. Jene Ambivalenz zwischen der Bereitschaft zum Widerstand und der Offenheit, sich doch auf die Nationalsozialisten einzulassen, um die eigene Haut zu retten.
Es ist aber auch die Interaktion zwischen dem Individuum, dem persönlichen sozialen System und dem politischen System. So wechseln die Bilder im Film 'Der neunte Tag' entsprechend. So erlebt der Zuschauer ihn auf seinen Spaziergängen zum örtlichen Nazi-Statthalter sehr nachdenklich. In der Nacht brechen in seinen Träumen dann die Emotionen durch und der Zuschauer bekommt einen Eindruck davon, wie kontrolliert der Einzelne sich in einer Diktatur bewegen muß und das Seelenleben dann doch durchbricht. Es wird erlebbar, was in den Familien passiert sein muß, wenn man die Opposition zu den Nationalsozialisten geübt hat. Und der Film 'Der neunte Tag' macht klar, daß das politische System das Alltagsleben durchdrungen hat, wenn ein luxemburgischer Bischof sein Dasein zwischen der Anpassung der Gläubigen, der Kollaboration von Mitbrüdern im priesterlichen Amt und gelebtem Widerstand behaupten muß.
Was dem Film 'Der neunte Tag' fehlt, ist der Blick auf das gewöhnliche Gottesvolk in den Zeiten der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft. Es fehlt an den Bildern, in denen Henri Kremer sich am Altare des Herrn und inmitten der Gläubigen erlebt. Wenn der Film solche Bilder gezeigt hätte, wäre die Kraft des Films noch ausdrücklicher gewesen. So beeindruckt nicht nur die Endszene, wenn Henri Kremer ins Konzentrationslager zurückgekehrt ist, eine Mettwurst in Scheiben schneidet und sie den Mitbrüdern anbietet. Man hätte dem 'Neunten Tag' auch gewünscht, dass der Alltag im Priesterblock lebendiger dargestellt worden wäre.
Der Film 'Der neunte Tag' hinterläßt seine Spuren durch die dargestellte Banalität und Einfachheit. Er beeindruckt durch die menschliche Darstellung seiner Akteure. Und er überzeugt dadurch, dass die Rolle der katholischen Kirche im Nationalsozialismus nicht mit einer moralischen Brille angeschaut wird.
