...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.

This bizarro counterhistory isn't an allegory, and it makes no easy political points. It's cold, clear and frighteningly plausible...
...Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces, to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary they condemn that person and throw them in jail."
