Rami Malek and Russell Crowe roused a political response at Q&A after the premiere AFI Fest screening last night of Nuremberg at Grauman’s Chinese, in Hollywood.

The audience at last night’s Nuremberg premiere percolated with sympathetic, angry applause at the striking resonance of Nazi war crimes with those of our current American Führer. Incandescent acting, writing, and direction gave the movie a seamless unity. Luminous filmmaking elevated the courtroom genre film into a potent cautionary tale— a contemporary warning about fascism of all kinds, everywhere.
