Hitler - A Film From Germany

Aroview: An epic and highly original exploration of the sources of German fascism, in which experimentalist dir. Syberberg weaves a tapestry of surreal juxtapositions where Nazi emblems and persons arise out of the collective heap of popular culture - including Charlie Chaplin films, Punch and Judy skits, Wagnerian opera and Christmas carols.

Not for the faint-hearted or impatient, this grotesque dream-vision of history has enough arcania and black humour packed in to seem like a cinematic version of a Salvador Dali canvas.
