Cast:

"Of all the actors who have taken up the dare of playing Adolf Hitler, Bruno Ganz may be the first who has truly nailed him in body, spirit, and gesture." -- Owen Gleiberman , (Entertainment Weekly)

"[Ganz] tackles the biggest monster of them all with appropriate sobriety and a touch of mischief." -- A. O. Scott , (New York Times)

"[P]owerfully disturbing....The film is painstaking in its re-creation of the fall of Berlin, with captivating camera work, mostly with handheld equipment, and disconcertedly realistic war scenes." -- Claudia Puig , (USA Today)

"This is an impeccable, unflinching film." -- David Stubbs , (Uncut)

"[T]he reality it confronts is so gripping, we cannot turn away." -- Kenneth Turan , (Los Angeles Times)

"[Ganz] succeeds brilliantly with this gift of a role, haunting the mind for days afterwards..." -- Richard Falcon , (Sight and Sound)

Ranked #2 in Uncut's Best Films Of 2005 -- "Claustrophobia and intensity prevail, the performances are frighteningly believable." -- Uncut Staff , (Uncut)
