What does it mean to be a Jew? How do you comprehend the holocaust? How do you embrace your religion while being completely opposed to its teachings? Or more importantly how do you embrace its teachings & philosophy while discarding the core being of it? 'The Believer' is a disturbing albeit brilliant drama surrounding these questions. The viewer will have to face the fascist & antisemitic traits in themselves. Ryan Gosling stars as the protagonist who is a "Jewish" Nazi completely at odds with his religion & who now believes in the Nazi propaganda of wiping the Jews off the face of this planet. But can he also be at odds with his own beliefs? Fascinating too say the least!!!
