Hitler - A Film from Germany, The Grail, Part 1

Hans-Jurgen Syberberg's dreamlike collage explores the roots and continued meaning of Germany's Nazi past. Against a backdrop of footage from the Third Reich, actors perform monologues in a dense, experimental brew that straddles the line between fiction and documentary. Though monumental in size--the film is divided into four parts and clocks in at seven hours--it is also profound in depth, rewarding anyone who enters its strange world with a powerful, haunting experience.
