Natan plot

"Film decays. Memory fades. Truth is corrupted."

How intolerance can turn the greatest success into a nightmare is shown in the life story of the innovative entrepreneur Bernard Natan, who played a major role in the French film industry in the 1920s and 1930s. His name has been banned from the collective memory, or worse, only evokes negative associations. Natan, who introduced the sound film in France, which brought the cinemascope format to the screen before the word even existed, was blacklisted as a Jew, pervert and foreigner. The Nazi camps did the rest.
