    1 out of 5 stars Hitler making speeches in a cave.......2006-09-02

    When this movie began, I was sure I was in for something penetrating and deep. As it went on, I felt that the movie was merely clever. Within a few minutes of that, I was just plain bored.

    The premise -- Hitler, his colleagues, and a few random Nazis in a surreal, underground world akin to hell -- has potential. But the movie becomes tedious for lack of any plot, or of any pretense of one. The whole movie is given over to listening to Hitler make speeches about heroism, propaganda, and other abstract concepts. For the sake of variety, his speechifying is occasionally interrupted by comments from Goebbels, Goering, Eva Braun, and others.

    Having Hitler talk with Sigmund Freud was evidently intended to be the cleverest stroke of all. Freud, however, is portrayed as a bland, ordinary, TV-stereotype of a psychologist; the only way we know he's supposed to be Freud is the beard and the pince-nez.

    5 out of 5 stars A CRYSTAL CLEAR WINDOW INTO THE " THE THIRD REICH !!.......2006-04-19

    A MAGICAL , SURREAL JOURNEY INTO " THE MYSTICAL THIRD REICH " HITLER'S DREAMS AND HIS HOPES FOR A " GREATER GERMANIA " YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVIE !!! ONE OF THE BEST WWII MOVIES SINCE... " NIGHT OF THE GENERALS " .

    5 out of 5 stars The Empty Mirror is Full of Thought and Artistic Vision.......2003-04-19

    A truly brillant treatment of the subject. Goes deep into the Philosophy and motives of Facism and Nazi Racism. All Words are Hilter's own (!) taken from various sources and acted superbly by Norman Rodway. This makes the film so interesting. Freud and Hitler spar in a interesting postmodern dialogue. Hope it is on DVD soon!

    5 out of 5 stars A journey into a dark and complex mind.......2003-04-14

    I really hope this film gets released on DVD sometime soon as it is truly a rare and extraordinary find, a brilliant artistic acheivement. For those whose tastes run deeper than the mainstream and who may have a more than casual interest in World war 2 in general and Adolph Hitler in particular, or the very mysterious nature of evil itself, this film is a definate must see. The premise, portrayal and characterization indeed evoke the sense of a desolate self absorbed soul whose only possible source of comfort in an eternity of self reflection would be the constant reinforcement of his own pathological lies to any one who would still be foolish or gullible enough to listen. A soul unable to face ultimate truth, the realization of which could only equal pitiful agony and hopeless despair.

    5 out of 5 stars A convincing vision of Hitler in Hell.......2001-05-17

    The great 18th century mystic Swedenborg, who claimed prolonged visions of Heaven and Hell, reported that souls in Hell don't know they're in Hell because they're behaving as they did in life; the angels, however, look upon them and see them as terrible beasts. As I watched this profoundly engrossing film, I had no doubt by its end that it's not just an artistic "turn" dealing with Hitler's psyche, image, and horrific legacy but instead is a powerful portrayal of him in Hell. Hell for Hitler may well be eternal self-absorption and facile self-analysis punctuated by the rare inkling of consequences of his acts and awareness of the reality of others--sporadic insights that reduce him to befuddled torment and (his worst nightmare) weakness. The actors' portral of Hitler and Goebbels are brilliant, and the film itself left me shaken. It seemed not so much an artifice as a true vision of Hell.
