About Hitler: A Film from Germany
A structure-free, four-part examination of the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Each part explores a different topic, from Hitler's cult of personality in propaganda to how said propaganda was associated with pre-Nazi German cultural, spiritual, and national heritage to the Holocaust and the ideology behind it, particularly from Himmler's point of view.
Directed by Hans-Jürgen Syberberg, Hitler: A Film from Germany leans on a strong ensemble — Harry Baer, Heinz Schubert, Peter Kern — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1978.
