Der Untergang (2004)



The final secretary for Adolf Hitler tells of the Nazi dictator's final days in his Berlin bunker at the end of WWII.

Although a topnotch production and a good cast (Bruno Ganz' idiosyncratic impersonation of Adolf Hitler, however, is on the verge of parody), the movie's depiction of a precarious moment in German history is dubious in its intentions.

After re-watching: my first impression still applies.

Maltin***1/2: "Riveting dramatization...Long but thoroughly engrossing; Ganz is outstanding."
