12/05/2007 For those willing to join in Hershey's intellectual, psychological and historical exercise, there are rewards to be had in mulling over the terrible but fascinating issues the film raises. See more 10/06/2007 What if Hitler really didn't die in the war, and then was psycho-analyzed by Sigmund Freud? All his favorite peeps are there too: Braun, Goring, and Gobbels among others. Oh, and he is still a monstrous genocidal murderer. Seems off-beat, and it is, but still you see the man and the monster. Well acted, with excellent cinematography by Frederick Elmes. Co-produced by Jay Roach, of Austin Powers and Meet the Parents shame. No, it's absolutely not a comedy. See more 08/12/2007 This is probably one of the odder films I've seen--the way it takes on the persona of Hitler is original, even if it isn't entirely effective. It's kind of early Spielbergian, in a way, but not quite. You never get a feel for it; it always holds you at arm's length. It's interesting, maybe even awe-inspiring, but not exactly great. See more 07/16/2007 A very dark and dingy portrayal of Hitler's last days in his bunker from Hitler's perspective. Not overly well made or completely accurate, but really shows how he lost his mind and how the insanity ran him. See more 10/30/2006 Very very talking, and it gets old fast. Very well made though, good sets, costumes and cinematography. Claustraphobic. I am not that impressed with Norman Rodway's Hitler, he gives it a good effort, but no one can compare to bruno ganz in "Downfall". The best part of the film is the real film clips of Hitler. Stylish, but a little slow moving. See more Read all reviews
