This documentary serves as a historical exploration of a controversial literary figure rather than a platform for progressive representation. The narrative is confined by the biographical realities of its subject, focusing on a specific, historically contentious European male. While the subject matter invites a critique of systemic historical issues like collaborationism, the film does not incorporate diverse perspectives or character's ability to drive the story to broaden the narrative.
