Claes Bang plays Heinrich Himmler’s personal physical therapist in Locarno premiere “I Is Another.”

Directed by Felix Randau, it focuses on the true story of Felix Kersten. Kersten, who passed away in 1960, claimed to have saved numerous lives during the war due to his influence over the Nazi leader. However, many have disputed his claims. 

“It’s quite a wild story and for some reason it’s never been told,” Bang tells Variety.
