One of the greatest films ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2005)

Not only is Downfall the best foreign language film ever made, it is also one of the greatest films ever made. Bruno Ganz deserved an Academy Award for his astonishing role as Adolf Hitler. This is the best film ever made on the subject of World War II. Since 1998 I have believed Saving Private Ryan was the best WWII film ever made, but I was blown away at the talented acting as well as it's writing and directing. The film's director Oliver Hirschbiegel has put together an excellent film about Hitler's final days. I was very pleased after learning it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, which it a great honor for such a great masterpiece of a film.
