Featured review
I danced myself into the tomb
Otto Rahn is a beloved niche character for whoever as a interest in WWII, the history of Third Reich or occultism. This documentary doesn't really reveals much about him but it's still very effective in defining him as a hopeless dreamer who trapped himself in a situation he couldn't control and paid the ultimate price. Perhaps he was never in control but in another time he could have lead a better life.
I gave the documentary a 7 but it could also be a 6 because the music was used atrociously and often drowns the talking voices. Plus, Rahn's niece commentary was kind of unnecessary imho and she was given too much screen time.
