Phenomenal performance by Bruno Ganz

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2017)

This movie really brings home the devastation bigotry brings down on us all. It not only ruins the lives of the targeted, it destroys the perpetrators. The performances in the film are top-notch and the sequence of events is relatively easy to follow. The film is well worth having to read subtitles. Having watched Bruno Ganz as Hitler, it's impossible for me to imagine anyone else playing the part. The testimony of one of the inhabitants of the bunker is particularly effective, especially since she does not excuse herself but, in fact, accuses herself. Assuming we will be lucky enough to still have public schools in the future, this film should be required viewing in every US high school.
