WINNIPEG INTERNATIONAL JEWISH FILM FEST 2026 – Rosenthal: The Great Showman
Resource person: Laura Marjovsky | lmarjovsky@radyjcc.com
Biographical Drama | Germany | 2025 | Director: Oliver Haffner | German with English subtitles | 92 minutes | 18A
Starring Florian Lukas (Good Bye Lenin!; The Grand Budapest Hotel) and Anatole Taubman (Quantum of Solace 007), this powerful and deeply human drama reveals the little-known backstory of Hans Rosenthal. Rosenthal was the funloving and effervescent host of a wildly popular 1970s German game show Dalli, Dalli.
It was the number one show in a country eager only to look forward. But, on the eve of the 40th anniversary of Kristallnacht, Rosenthal finds himself forced to confront his traumatic past as a Holocaust survivor– and the past of the country as a whole.
