Shades of grey
This film is about a man who committed a terrible crime during war and is now old and somehow sorry for what he did. The story about the preparations for his trial are described from different points of view, also from his.

It’s interesting to experience Maximilian Schell mainly as a director. (The role he plays in the film is quite small.) Shades of grey dominate the film. It looks like made with a low budget in a studio with minimum scenery. Although the story is really interesting and the topic is controversial – shall an old, harmless man still be called to account for the crimes he committed a long time ago in war? – somehow the film doesn’t keep awake. There are some surprising takes here and charming guest appearances there – there seems to be no continuity, no concept. The film seems „undirected`, uncoordinated. I guess, that’s a common problem, when actors, who believe they know their way around, try and direct a movie.

The movie ends abruptly, after changing into a TV discussion. I got the impression that the film had been over for minutes and I was watching that discussion. Really weird.

Collective guilt, collective shame
An awkwardly made drama that somehow garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film in 1974 (it lost to Truffaut’s Day for Night), The Pedestrian hasn’t dated well and now makes unspectacular and uneasy viewing. Anchored by a strong lead performance by Gustav Rudolf Sellner as Heinz Giese, a German businessman suspected of ordering the massacre of a Greek village during World War II, the film follows a group of journalists trying to scoop the story. They’re far from the idealistic writers we usually see in films, however–they’re mostly interested in the story because it will sell papers. There’s one particularly nasty moment when the Giese case is consigned to page 3, because there’s a spectacular car theft photo that absolutely must make the front page. Perhaps that’s the point: in The Pedestrian, no one is wholly innocent, as the film’s coda underscores with its reference to collective guilt. Technically, Maximilian Schell’s direction seems cluttered and unfocused, though Embassy Home Video’s English-dubbed VHS does the film no favours. The Pedestrian is not a likely candidate for a Region 1 digital overhaul, but it’s worth seeing for Sellner’s performance alone, and the supporting cast (including Lil Dagover, Peggy Ashcroft, and Gustav’s real life son Manuel as Giese’s hippie offspring) is an interesting one.
