Following up the contemporary themes of our Dead Nazi Summer series kickoff GREEN ROOM, Tony Kaye’s 1998 stunner (anchored by one of Edward Norton’s grandest performances) takes a dramatic look at how white supremacist thought targets and poisons working-class American communities.

Living a life marked by violence and racism, neo-Nazi Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) finally goes to prison after killing two black youths who tried to steal his car. Upon his release, Derek vows to change his ways; he hopes to prevent his younger brother, Danny (Edward Furlong), who idolizes Derek, from following in his footsteps. As he struggles with his own deeply ingrained prejudices and watches their mother grow sicker, Derek wonders if his family can overcome a lifetime of hate.

“A work of impressive scale and craft, and not a movie that’s easy to dismiss in the end.” – Sight & Sound
