Adolf Hitler (Bruno Ganz) – Downfall
Unquestionably one of the finest screen documentations of the Second World War, The sublime German biopic drama Downfall concerns itself with the final ten days of Adolf Hitler’s reign over Nazi Germany.
Much of its greatness comes from the provocative and worryingly poignant performance from Bruno Ganz. His leading turn here as the Fuhrer is rendered with such density and raw emotion that as the days fade away and the inevitable bears ever greater, you can’t help but feel compelled and moved by it all.
This is a stark, startling and brutally honest account, and if you are yet to experience it, ensure you change that.
