Our Hitler

[rich]

full 7 hour film Our Hitler:  A film from Germany to be released on
DVD next week

In this powerfully original film, director Hans-Jürgen Syberberg
creates an epic nightmare that ruminates on Adolf Hitler and the
effect he continues to wield over Germany.

In a series of 22 tableaux set on a soundstage, Syberberg makes use of
puppets, props, a thundering Wagnerian soundtrack, and rear-screen
projection to evoke Nazi Germany, the origins of the Third Reich, and
the disturbing aftermath that followed. Neither a feature film nor a
conventional documentary, OUR HITLER is a seven-and-a-half-hour fever
dream on coming to terms with Nazism. Originally distributed by
Francis Coppola s Zoetrope Studios, this controversial film was hailed
by Coppola as a work that made all other films of the time trivial or
obsolete.

i wonder can anyone ever come to terms with Nazism?
