Sep 24, 1999 · Jakob The Liar. Comedy. 114 minutes ‧ PG-13 ‧ 1999. Roger Ebert. September 24, 1999. 5 min read. The last shot of “Jakob the Liar” (don’t worry, it has nothing much to do with the rest of the film) shows an American jazz band playing in a field near the death camps of World War II. Three women who resemble the Andrews Sisters are singing.
To fight the incredible depression and suicide throughout the ghetto, Jakob tells fictitious news bulletins about Allied advances against the Nazis. These lies keep hope and humor alive among the ghetto inhabitants. The Germans learn of the mythical radio, however, and begin a search for the resistance hero who dares operate it.
