Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Rami Malek reunite for Nuremberg, a tense historical thriller from Sony Pictures Classics that revisits the war crimes trials that followed World War II. The film, directed by James Vanderbilt, explores the psychological confrontation between Crowe's portrayal of Nazi leader Hermann Göring and Malek's Douglas Kelley, the American psychiatrist assigned to assess him in 1945 Germany.
During a recent screening in New York, Malek spoke about the emotional weight of filming within a recreation of Göring's prison cell. He admitted that playing Kelley's obsession with understanding evil was an intense process. He also warned that audiences may find Crowe's charismatic performance difficult to process. 'It will be tricky to grapple with how audiences feel about Göring because of how charismatic Russell Crowe is', Malek said.
