I missed the Variety item
I missed the Variety item last Thursday (11.18), but Bob Berney's Newmarket Films has picked up Oliver Hirschbiegel's Downfall, that German-produced, end-of-the-Third-Reich, down-in-the-bunker movie that I saw a few weeks ago and quite liked. Obviously angling for a Best Foreign Film Oscar nom, Downfall is "an exceptional historical piece [that's] all about detail, detail and more detail," I wrote on 11.3. "Not so much a Hitler character study as a Guernica-sized, pointillist portrait of the last remnants of Nazi culture collapsing into itself." Pic was written and produced by Constantin Film's Berndt Eichinger, and costars Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler, Alexandra Maria Lara as Hitler's private secretary, Ulrich Matthes as Joseph Goebbels and Juliane Kohler as Eva Braun.
