Movie Reviews of Our Hitler
Movie Review: Very unique...very interesting...very long
Summary: 5 Stars
What can be written about this film that hasn't already been written? I found the film captivating....mesmerizing. Though it is indeed very long (7+ hours) I would have no reservation watching it again in its entirety. The production of the film is unique...unlikely anything at least this reviewer has ever seen. I was drawn to the film because it was produced by Germans and I am really curious how Germans feel about the whole National Socialism movement, or at least how some of them may have viewed that era looking back from the 1970's. There are portions of the film that do indeed seem to drag on a little too long (the monologues by the young German intellectual, for example) but I've always had a fascination with the entire movement and in particular Hitler that I still enjoyed the film. How could it all really take place?, I ask myself. Anyhow, if you are interested in this period or German history I would highly recommend this film. If you have little to no interest in either of these two subjects you will probably have little to no patience for this film. I loved it, however.
Summary of Our Hitler
In this powerfully original film, director Hans-J?rgen Syberberg creates an epic nightmare that ruminates on Adolf Hitler and the effect he continues to wield over Germany.In a series of 22 tableaux set on a soundstage, Syberberg makes use of puppets, props, a thundering Wagnerian soundtrack, and rear-screen projection to evoke Nazi Germany, the origins of the Third Reich, and the disturbing aftermath that followed. Neither a feature film nor a conventional documentary, OUR HITLER is a seven-and-a-half-hour fever dream on coming to terms with Nazism. Originally distributed by Francis Coppola s Zoetrope Studios, this controversial film was hailed by Coppola as a work that made all other films of the time trivial or obsolete.
