Downfall

I watched DOWNFALL again last night for another chance to see the performance of Bruno Ganz as Hitler. It’s a performance of such depth and detail that, in every respect, it puts down a marker for great acting. Everyone is good in this film – so much care has been taken over every aspect of the production. It’s a humbling experience to watch something so beautifully created and exquisitely performed. Ganz’s performance must surely put him at the very top of his field.
