Yeah, I do. It's apparently the first time the Germans have done a movie about Hitler, and it's largely based on the recollections of Traudl Junge, one of his secretaries. (There's also a documentary about her called "Blind Spot" that's pretty good, too--two hours of a single medium close up of her in her apartment just telling the story ). The whole Last Days of Hitler in the Bunker has been filmed a couple of times before, but this is by far the best. There's this sense of the end of the world in it--the true believers, the cynics, the people trying to figure out how to escape, the people getting drunk. It's like a bad fever dream. And the scene of Magda Goebbels poisoning her children is just harrowing to watch.
