Hitler: A Film from Germany

1977 · 452 min

A long, hypnotic, essayistic descent into propaganda and memory, more ritual than narrative, demanding patience and rewarding it with unsettling images.

Genres
Drama, History, War
Overview
A structure-free, four-part examination of the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Each part explores a different topic, from Hitler's cult of personality in propaganda to how said propaganda was associated with pre-Nazi German cultural, spiritual, and national heritage to the Holocaust and the ideology behind it, particularly from Himmler's point of view.
How it feels
Dark, bleak, satirical and eerie. Slow-burning and demanding.
About
Power, media, corruption, guilt
Content
Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
