What is Max about?
In 1918, a young, disillusioned Adolf Hitler strikes up a friendship with a Jewish art dealer while weighing a life of passion for art vs. talent at politics
Max is a 2002 drama film written and directed by Menno Meyjes in his directorial debut. The film stars John Cusack, Noah Taylor, Leelee Sobieski, and Molly Parker. Its plot depicts a fictional friendship between Jewish art dealer Max Rothman and a young Austrian painter, Adolf Hitler; more of which explores Hitler's views that begin to take shape as the Nazi ideology while also studying the artistic and design implications of the Third Reich. It goes on to study the question of what could have been had Hitler been accepted as an artist.
