Downfall (2004)

Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel
Written by Bernd Eichinger
IMDB

An epic film about the final days of Adolf Hitler, as told from the perspective of his secretary.  Hitler is paranoid and nervous as he and some of his closest staff hole up in a bunker in Berlin.
An excellent film that is long without managing to feel overly-long.  The actor who portrayed Hitler did an excellent job, as did the actress playing his secretary.  Not a fun movie, of course, but an interesting one.  The special effects were very good.  Lots of realistic looking (and they probably were real) explosions.


8/10
