Re: Downfall ( Der Untergang )
I've watched this today & must admit that with the reviews above & elsewhere I knew it would be good but thought the claim of it being 'the best war movie ever seen bar none' would turn out to be an exaggeration.
This film is startling in its tension & the way it brings home not so much the terror, as the desperation & futility of the final days of the war in the bunker is breathtaking, & I would certainly agree that it would be on any shortlist of the greatest films i've seen.
