the most harrowing film I have ever seen. Fantastic.

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2006)

I've watched hundreds of great films and shocking films over the years. But I have never felt as emotionally uncomfortable as this made me feel. The Goebels children scene was simply unbearable. I think most creative film makers leave stuff like that to the imagination, but in this case the depiction was devastating in it's intensity and detail.
When I left the film I felt like I was escaping the bunker. Strange thing is, I feel like going back. I thought I knew about this subject and thought I'd read or seen most of what matters about Hitler and his ideas and methods. But this film gave me some brand new things and it delivered them with an incredible intellectual and emotional punch.
Still feel exhausted a day later.
