Product Description

"The most extraordinary film I have ever seen" says Susan Sontag of director Hans-Jurgen Syberberg's epic nightmare rumination on Adolf Hitler the cultural mechanisms underlying his mythic rise 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 the origins of the Third Reich Nazi Germany and the disturbing aftermath. Neither a feature film nor a conventional documentary Hitler: Ein Film aus Deutschland is a seven-hour avant-garde fever dream on coming to terms with Nazism. Originally distributed by Francis Coppola's Zoetrope Studios this notorious film was hailed by Coppola as a work that rendered all other films of the time obsolete.
