"Look, mein fuehrer, I can walk"

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 1999)

This must be the best black comedy ever made. The absurdity of the war room, the fighting, the telephone call with Dimitri and the Werner von Braun phantom, make me laugh every time I see it. But it's more & more the hysterical laughter of a condemned. Maybe in retrospect the fear of a nuclear war has lost some of its menace, but that only has brought the fear for the combination of bureaucracy and human insanity (those who are sane please rise) in more frightening prominence.
