A must

Rating: 7/10 (13 May 2001)

A truly excellent film, but one which I suspect is more for the casual historian as opposed to the usual film-goer. Being around 3 hours long, I have to admit I found it rather tedious at times, particularly as the characters have no more idea of proceedings than the viewer. Intelligent acting and skilled direction however, makes this a highly polished documentary and one which every person should make the effort to watch. Probing and really quite a disturbing portrait of the way in which society can be ruled in the twentieth century western world.
