A fascinating take on Hitler which, in many ways, deflates 'serious' films like Downfall by showing a clearly deluded individual. The film however suffers from the dangers of minimalist cinema; passages of contemplation do not provide a true sense of contemplation, or go further with the idea aside from Hitler being slightly insane, dragging the narrative for far too long with unnecessarily long takes. It's also very stagey which puts you at arm's length from it in a negative way.
