Obyknovennyy fashizm

It's not a Mondo's but a very detailled documentary.

This satirical, biased, devastating, and ultimately insightful documentary is a heady experience about individual power and the horrors of absolutism. Romm is a proto-Michael Moore, and gets in the ointment without being obnoxious. Propaganda? Yes. But propaganda most of us can get behind.

This is a movie with two purposes. One, its primary purpose, is a thorough examination of the social psychology surrounding the rise and rule of Nazism in Germany. This, it does incredibly well thanks to the narration that mixes a variety of tones in a way that makes it very captivating. The other part of the film is a look at the western world, done with a very Soviet perspective, this is interesting in its own way and is much smaller, but the film would be even better without it.

Oh, the smirk over this one was delicious!
