Hitler's Hollywood

[bigshot]

I screened this new documentary last night. I've seen a lot of movies in my lifetime, but this was full of amazing looking films that I've never even heard of before. It appears that some archive must be specializing in restoring these. The image quality on most of them was stunning. Incredible color. The documentary itself was pretty enlightening, focusing on the history of film making in Germany during the war years, and how the films reflected the Nazi philosophy. The narrator, Udo Kier was a bit mumble mouthed. I had difficulty understanding him at times. But overall, I would recommend this highly. It comes with another documentary covering the silent era up to the Nazis too, so you get a lot for your money here.
