"Labyrinth of Lies" by debutante filmmaker Giulio Ricciarelli to be Germany’s entry for the Foreign Language film at Oscars

Debutante filmmaker Giulio Ricciarelli’s feature “Labyrinth of Lies” will be Germany’s entry for the Foreign Language film at Oscar. The movie, distributed in the US by Sony Pictures Classics, is about a young public prosecutor, Johann Radmann, who sets out in the 1950s to expose the full story behind the mass killings at Auschwitz.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 27 August 2015.

Alexander Fehling would be in the role of Radmann – he won the Bavarian Film Award for best actor for this role. The decision to send this film was taken by an independent nine-member jury appointed by German Films, and the jury has described the film as a “precisely researched” drama that is both “gripping and touching”.
The world premiere of the film was done at the Toronto Film Festival last year. Beta Cinema is handling international sales and it has sold the film to 118 countries. Sony Pictures Classics is planning a theatrical release on September 30.
The five movies nominated in the Foreign Language film Oscar will be revealed on January 14 and the Oscar awards ceremony will be February 28.
