Oh my god, this movie is easily one of the three best I've ever seen. It is a true masterpiece. Very hard to watch, especially when you know all of it happened in reality. Deciding to base the film just as much on the experiences of Adolf Hitler's secretary and the things she witnessed is brilliant.
And Bruno Ganz - my god, if this performance of his is not worth an Oscar, the Hollywood incarnates truly show what lousy stuff they're made of. This film could never have been made anywhere but Germany, making it into an English speaking film would be a disaster (but of course, with their tendency to remake anything over there I wouldn't be surprised! ha ha)..
Go and see this film, sure it's a hard thing to watch, but it's an experience for life! 10/10 - no question in my mind!
