Downfall
I saw Downfall last night, about the last days of Hitler. It is an excellent film, full of the terror of a crumbling 'empire', Hitler's disbelief of the extent and disconnection with the reality of the failure around him. Most of the action of the film takes place in the bunker and the sense of claustrophobia and impending doom is just inescapable. It doesn't make for easy viewing.

Wow, that's quite something. I do not believe that the film is sympathetic to Hitler. It's just not the case. But it is a very powerful representation of how things fall apart.
