Part of what's alarming about "Hitler's Hollywood" is that it's easier to be seduced by these comedies and melodramas, at least in excerpts, than it is to endure Leni Riefenstahl's propaganda film "Triumph of the Will" today. Full Review

Suchsland is exploring the past while challenging us to apply his method to the present. He is implying that we will better understand who we are, and where we are going, if we awaken from our trances and look upon our own dreams and nightmares. Full Review

Suchsland has created an important film which documents a strange time in the history of world cinema through the lens of authoritarianism and dictatorship. Full Review

Hitler's Hollywood is as thorough and informative as a Master Class seminar, if as dry as Melba toast, and the collage of classic images presents snippets of film history that are both beautiful and unsettling. Full Review

Product Description:

From 1933 to 1945, German cinema flourished under the supervision of propagandist Joseph Goebbels. Despite the heavy regulations, the German film industry sought to instill national pride and propel dangerous ideas about war to its citizens. Narrated by Udo Kier, this documentary was directed by Rüdiger Suchsland.
