What Hitler: A Film from Germany Is About
Running close to seven hours, the film sets out to address the Third Reich but tells no story. It comes in four parts, each looking at a different question: the cult of personality built by propaganda, how that propaganda attached itself to German cultural inheritance, the ideology, and the genocide. The stage is a studio; puppets, back-projected images and long monologues are used throughout. Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's film has been argued over since it appeared. Susan Sontag counted it among the most important works of its time and defended it openly. Other critics, by contrast, have said the film carries a reactionary outlook and in places comes close to antisemitism. That argument is not closed today; the film is neither easily defended nor easily dismissed.
