Bunker Days ...

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2006)

If this dramatisation of Hitler's last days in his bunker are to be believed, then this has to be the best version of events ever filmed.
Chilling, stark and moving, the film-makers have brilliantly captured life below ground for several dozen of Herr Hitler's closest personal staff. As the Russian troops surround Berlin, now within a matter of kilometers of the Reichstag and the nearby bunker, Hitler is forced into making decisions that will affect the city and the lives of Germans after he has gone.
From the inevitable destruction of Hitler's pet German Shepherd dog, to Frau Goebbels taking the lives of her children, the film follows Traudl Junge, Hitler's final personal secretary - her thoughts, fears and desires.
Made by the best German film-makers and with some of the best German acting talent around, the country should be very proud of their achievement.
If you get the chance to see it, do just that.
