Review of Max

Max (I) (2002)
7/10
The Failed Artist
14 May 2006
All the comments neglecting this film are very respectable and quite correct. However I could not help appreciating this film, first of all for the fact that i was always curious about Hitler in this period of his life before he evolved into what we all know him as, secondly for Noah Taylor's performance of the persona, that was already enough to make me want to see the movie again. Then of course this movie has its faults, directing for one thing. Cusack did not act at all, he was very inadequately a modern American. This is a film which needed a handful more research before approaching it. The meat grinder as a detail is pathetic. I also wonder if Hitler really had his whole Nazi regime sketched in his portfolio as depicted here at this point of his life, but who knows, ultimately this film is fiction based on facts.
