Thank heavens Caryl & Al have film-going friends in New York City. Without an enthusiastic endorsement, they might have otherwise totally overlooked this film. *That* would have been a severe shame, for “Downfall” is an extremely worthwhile film. It guides us through the final days of Adolf Hitler. It shows us both Hitler’s humanity and his madness as he refuses to accept the fact that he has lost the war. We get to meet his staff and we are shown their humanity, angst, intelligence, and, for the most part, their loyalty. This cinematography in this film is superb. We feel the damp claustrophobic environment of the underground bunkers. We are also terrorized by the bombardment of street-level Berlin as the Russian army encircles the city, drawing Hitler’s sphere of influence smaller and smaller and tighter and tighter around him. In the end, that influence exists only at a small diner table where Hitler enjoys his last supper. This film has been criticized for showing the humanity of Hitler, his staff and their families as the end approaches. Whether you agree with that criticism or not, the film does a superb, superb job of portraying the Third Reich’s top command, and of portraying the civilians still in Berlin as terrified, terrified human beings. As their world shuts down, for example, we are shown one of the last wishes of anyone in the Third Reich: to be captured by Americans instead of Russians. The actors and the camera both do an amazing job of conveying this. “Downfall” stars Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler, and features a very very strong supporting cast. It is not a film you should miss.
