The story of the downfall of Hitler, his system and his people.

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2004)

By showing Hitler and his closest supporters in their last days, this film reaches an intensity of the true horror of the nazi regime never accomplished before.
This film manages a task thought impossible before, to bring alive the leading characters of the nazi system.
But the film is also a great cinematic experience, as Oliver Hirschbiegel directs it in real epic way.
The experiment to bring Hitler alive was really risky, but about this film will speak still in 10 years time.
Compared to the Alliance Atlantis "Rise and Fall", "The Downfall"is a milestone of Nazi films, while former was just a try.
