Movie Summary:
This German-language drama chronicles the final days of Hitler, so it takes place mostly in a Berlin bunker. Among those with Hitler in his claustrophobic quarters are his mistress Eva Braun, Joseph and Magda Goebbels and their six children, and a secretary named Traudl Junge. Bruno Ganz ("Wings of Desire") plays Der Führer, and Hitler is somewhat more humanized than we are accustomed to seeing, although to many that makes him all the more horrifying.
