Hitler, a Film from Germany is the most ambitious film of the postwar German cinema. Part Dantean pilgrimage and part Freudian mourning work, it is a seven-hour examination of the impact of Adolf Hitler. Through a unique montage combination of speech, projected imagery, and music, it explores the interrelationship between cinema and the most cataclysmic events of the twentieth century. This version has the narration in German with optional English subtitles. Premiere in America, a 1980 documentary from the time of the film's New York premiere, is available as a supplement.
