The movie "Downfall" (2004) depicts the last days of Hitler inside his bunker during April 1945 as Soviet forces closed in on Berlin. The story unfolds through the eyes of Traudl Junge, Hitler’s secretary, portrayed by Alexandra Maria Lara, and features Bruno Ganz in the title role. It doesn't fit easily into the war movie category because of its somber tone; it functions more as an educational tool than a purely entertaining film, but it feels like an important contribution to understanding World War II. People who enjoy films such as "Enemy at the Gates" (2001), "The Pianist" (2002), "Black Book" (2006), "Valkyrie" (2008), "Rommel" (2012), "Warsaw '44" (2014) and "Fury" (2014) will likely find something to value in this film as well. It’s difficult to assign a standard rating because watching it isn't exactly pleasurable, but the movie succeeds effectively as a way to revisit history and witness Hitler's final days. The film has a running time of 2 hours and 36 minutes and was filmed in Germany (Berlin, Munich and Bavaria Studios) and Russia (St. Petersburg). GRADE: B
