Der Untergang (2004)

Traudl Junge, 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 a parody) the movie's depiction of a precarious moment in German history is dubious in its intentions.

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