Chilling and brutally brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2005)

I have just finished watching this film, and I cannot believe how extraordinary this piece of brave film making is. For Germans to confront their past this way is nothing short of breath taking.
The actors were great, and the performance by Ganz as Hitler is one of the most unnerving things I have ever seen committed to film. There are fewer and fewer film out there that challenge you, but this is one of them. And boy, does it challenge you. The Nazis were the most heinous people on Earth, but a lot of them were not bad. Human like me and you with feelings for others. And that is the power of this film.
This has shot up into my top ten films of the last ten years. Wow.
