...Downfall We're in the bunker with Hitler and his toadies as, above ground, the remnants of The Third Reich crash in flames. Bruno Ganz gives a towering performance as the Fuhrer, moving imaginary armies around on the map, succumbing alternately to grandiosity, rage and self-pity, while the rest of his court dreams either of suicide or escape.

Delisle sketches a few scenes that highlight the absurdity of a friendship exhibition in an atomic bunker, but stops short of committing all the details to paper. "There's ... an armored vehicle from Stalin, another from Mao, three fabulous Russian cars from the '50s and one or two South Korean models," he writes, "but I'm too lazy to draw them all." A pity, but even without them, Delisle...
