Powerfully dramatic. An important and significant film, not only because it's a true story that needed to be told but also because it was told by Germans. If this had been a Hollywood production with Hollywood stars it would not have had the impact that it has had.
Downfall takes us back to those glorious days of April and May of 1945 when we were about to declare victory in Europe. Let's kiss a girl in Times Square because the German's are toast! We all remember those images. For an American, watching Downfall is the negative side of V-E d...( read more)

Hitler is played with pitch-perfect precision by the Swiss-born Bruno Ganz. full review

Bruno Ganz as Hitler acting so great in this movie, it was so scary and sad and gave a reflection of that this must never never never happen again!!! A great Oliver Hirschbiegel film! One of the best war movies ever made, they say
Marc-André dit que ce n'est pas un film à revoir à tous les jours... Dommage, je me cherche un film à regarder à tous les jours jusqu'à l'infini. Quel autre devrais-je choisir, Marc? ; )
