This Oscar-nominated German film evocatively portrays the last ten days of Adolf Hitler’s life as he and the remnants of his staff hunker down in a bunker beneath Berlin. Bruno Ganz does a phenomenal job playing the angry, defeated Führer. Based on the writings of Hitler’s secretary, Traudl Junge, the film was directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel.
