What Downfall Is About
Oliver Hirschbiegel's 2004 film takes place in the bunker in Berlin during the last days of the war. The narrative proceeds from a secretary's point of view. Outside, the city is falling. The film stays almost entirely indoors; the narrative gives events at a documentary distance and absolves no one. Bruno Ganz leads. The film was argued over on release for showing Hitler as a human being. The violence and the suicides are shown openly. Who it's for: those who like historical drama. Who it's not for: viewers troubled by scenes of suicide and violence against children; one section is very heavy.
