Downfall

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2006)

Nominated for an Oscar and winner of the British Independent Film Award for best Foreign Film, this critically acclaimed film is an excellent of Hitler's last few days of life before the end of the war, and his suicide. Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler is a good lookalike, a good character, and makes him a very good villain. I've always wanted to see Hitler played by someone, and played in a German film by Ganz, he makes a very evil man a reality. Also starring Alexandra Maria Lara as Traudl Junge, Corinna Harfouch as Magda Goebbels, Ulrich Matthes as Joseph Goebbels, Juliane Köhler as Eva Braun and Heino Ferch as Albert Speer. Best moments are Hitler shouting, poisoning the dog, the war moments and obviously the suicide. A powerful film, with English subtitles and some violence. Very good!
