Title: Brilliant examination of the "Butcher of Lyons"
Product review: This documentary, by Marcel Ophuls, is about Klaus Barbie who was known as the "Nazi Butcher of Lyons". Barbie was the Gestapo chief responsible for the death of most of Lyons' population, including women and children, during the Nazi occupation of France. After WW II, he cooperated with American intelligence agents, who helped him settle in Bolivia in 1951. Barbie was extradited to France and put on trial in 1987, where he received a sentence of life in prison. You will not find the normal usual footage showing atrocities. Instead he uses his interview skills with those who knew Barbie. This documentary is about 4 1/2 hours, and you will not want to take a break.
