Orientador: Prof. Dr. Alessandro Constantino Gamo São Carlos-SP 2020 Dedicado aos arquitetos desse fascinante universo que é o gênero terror. Que sua inesgotável imaginação e ousadia estejam sempre grudadas em mim, como o sangue de porco na doce Carrie. AGRADECIMENTOS Nem mesmo as cento e tantas páginas desta dissertação seriam suficientes para expressar minha gratidão às mulheres que, todos os dias, fazem de mim o que eu sou. Elas permanecem zelando para que eu alcance os meus sonhos, e, mais importante ainda, para que eu nunca deixe de sonhar. Minha mãe, Dirce, minhas irmãs, Márcia e Marta, e minha sobrinha, Júlia, amo vocês com todas as minhas forças! Ao meu falecido pai, Benedito: sei que sua energia ainda está conosco. Agradeço também aos meus colegas de mestrado. Tão precioso quanto o conhecimento adquirido nessa jornada é o fato de tê-la compartilhado com vocês. Desejo-lhes um futuro sempre mais e mais brilhante. Aos amigos de tantos anos, obrigado por me incentivarem a abraçar mais essa etapa e por estarem presentes também nos momentos de esfriar a cabeça e jogar conversa fora: Jefferson Galetti e Vanessa Bretas, Dú Marques, Vitão Godoy, Led Bacciotti e Giovana Bueno, Nico Stolzel e Paulinha Gomes, Miller Guglielmo, e a galera da república Alcatraz em São Carlos.

DOSCH Casting AN DORTHE BRAKER LOGLINE Frankfurt 1958: nobody wants to look back to the time of the National Socialist regime. Young public prosecutor Johann Radmann comes across some documents that help initiate the trial against some members of the SS who served in Auschwitz. But both the horrors of the past and the hostility shown towards his work bring Johann close to a meltdown. It is nearly impossible for him to find his way through this maze; everybody seems to have been involved or guilty. SHORT SYNOPSIS Germany 1958. Reconstruction, economic miracle. Johann Radmann (Alexander Fehling) has just recently been appointed Public Prosecutor and, like all beginners, he has to content himself with boring traffic offenses. When the journalist Thomas Gnielka (André Szymanski) causes a ruckus in the courthouse, Radmann pricks up his ears: a friend of Gnielka's identified a teacher as a former Auschwitz guard, but no one is interested in prosecuting him.
