The story of Hitler's last days in Berlin from Junge's perspective, DOWNFALL is as close to being in the bunker as one can get. By April 1945, the enemy was at the gates. The Soviet army is advancing on Berlin and defeat is inevitable. Hitler's moods range from defiance to delusion and others must decide whether to fight or flee, remain loyal or opt for self-preservation. Hitler ponders the fate of Germany whilst Braun parties like the last passenger on the Titanic, Magda Goebbels kills all her children, while Hitler takes advice on the most effective means of suicide. Directed with stunning intensity and admirable objectivity by Oliver Hirschbiegel, DOWNFALL breaks with taboos in portraying Hitler as a nefarious and seriously flawed man, but just a man nevertheless.
