Conversation with the Beast

1997 · 95 min

A claustrophobic, talky chamber piece that unsettles as much as it amuses, keeping you uneasy about who is really in the room.

Overview: An American historian (Mr Webster) comes to Berlin to visit an old man who claims to be the real Adolf Hitler and to be 103 years old. The Hitler who died in 1945, the old man says, was just one of his six doubles - one for each weekday - while Hitler himself retired into a bunker below the S-Bahn tracks and married a second time.
How it feels: Satirical, dark, eerie and absurd. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Identity, obsession, madness, power
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
