Movie Haiku:Dramatization of the memoirs of Hitler’s secretary, recounting her final days in the Berlin bunker as the Soviet Army closed in. Forget about Jews, the Nazis were monsters even towards their own German citizenry. Narcissistic megalomaniacs. Kudos to a new generation of filmmakers, dealing here with their troubled national legacy.
