I loved Downfall!!! What did you think of it? I thought a little more could have been done with the fall of Berlin though.
I absolutely loved it. I know we're still in January, but I already believe it will be one of the best films of my 2009 viewing, whatever else comes along. Riveting, great filmmaking. I felt and thought so many different things all at once watching it and afterward...it was definitely a memorable film experience. It's not the sort of film I'd usually anticipate watching repeatedly (sort of like Umberto D. -- I'm not sure when I'll be able to watch that one again, if ever, despite how deeply I admire it), but I've contemplated buying a copy for repeat viewings in future, it was so good. I'd have been interested in more on the fall of Berlin, but at the same time, the focus within the bunker seems so perfect that I'm on the fence about broadening it; what I'd really wish for is a second movie dealing with that topic, comparable in quality. (Hard to imagine, but I hope to see such a thing. It would be fascinating.)
I'm glad you liked it! I can't understand why The Invasion was so awful considering his first two movies were excellent. I think maybe more continental directors should stay in their country. Marc Forster has done some good stuff though.
"Moloch" by Sokurov is supposed to be pretty good as well, about Hitler. I haven't seen it yet. Indeed you seem to be cranking them out! I don't know where you find the time!
Oh my gosh -- I didn't even remember that he was responsible for The Invasion! That was a horrible film! Just a fluke, perhaps; Downfall was so good. I haven't seen Moloch, but I think it's on my queue somewhere. I'm cranking them out, but if you'll notice, my reading rate has dropped a bit this year compared to last; I think that's part of where I'm getting the time. I also tend to be a night owl...I watch a lot of films in the wee hours of the morning.
