too"soviet" for conventional tastes but fascinating in a dreamy, dingy mode...

A vitória, em Cannes, deste filme pretensioso e vazio é uma afronta a obras como História Real, Tudo Sobre Minha Mãe e O Poder Vai Dançar - alguns de seus concorrentes diretos naquela edição do Festival.

Rated: 1/5

Assistir "Moloch" foi como passar uma hora e meia na frente de uma TV desligada. O diretor do fantástico "Arca Russa" transformou um tema supostamente interessante (a intimidade de Adolf Hitler e sua amante Eva) em um trabalho enfadonho, vazio e pretensioso. Pelo menos as atuações são decentes.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

A duller companion to Sokurov's film about Emperor Hirohito. The difference is that Hitler is thoroughly unlikable and the movie didn't take place at an historic crossroads.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Another film about the inner arenas of Hitler's life full of photographic and character-quirky indulgence that adds no real new understanding or distinction to the story.

Una originale tratto biografico di Adolf Hitler circondato da Eva Braun e dai suoi uomini più fedeli e dipinto con le sue stranezze e le sue ipocondrie. Sokurov qui è molto bravo a giocare con gli ambienti esterni e le luci degli interni per descrivere il contorto dittatore tedesco. Bravo Leonid Mozgonvoy.

Clumsy, strident, stultifying. Why are so many films about dictators so over-the-top? A little subtlety would convery their evil so much better.

Una maravilla cargada de emociones y paradojas que muestran los multiples personajes que fue Hitler. La fuerza y el desdÃ (C)n de Eva ante el dictador pareciera iluminar los actos de soberbia y despotismo hasta llevarlos a el punto mÃ¡s humano posible.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
