I watched this film on the 70th anniversary of Hitler's death. It tells the true story of the last days of the Third Reich (April 1945), from within Hitler's secret underground bunker situated in the heart of Berlin.
All the dialogue is in German, with subtitles. There has been a lot of investment into getting good actors and impressive sets. The bunker scenes are shot with low camera angles and in a greenish light. There is not a weak link in this film.
Bruno Ganz (actually Swiss) gives the performance of his life as Hitler, and Alexandria Maria Lara (Romanian) plays the role of Traudi Junge as his secretary, on whose book the film was based.
Given the lasting impact on world history of this brief period in central Europe, this film should be required viewing for everyone. A landmark film.
