"The most extraordinary film I have ever seen," says Susan Sontag of Syberberg's epic nightmare rumination on Adolf Hitler, the cultural mechanisms underlying his mythic rise, and the effect he continues to wield over Germany. In a series of 22 tableaux set on a soundstage, Syberberg makes use of puppets, props, a thundering Wagnerian soundtrack, and rear-screen projection to evoke the origins of the Third Reich, Nazi Germany, and the disturbing aftermath. Neither a feature film nor a conventional documentary, HITLER: A FILM FROM GERMANY is a seven-hour avant-garde fever dream on coming to terms with Nazism.
