November's film will be: Downfall

Traudl Junge, the final secretary for Adolf Hitler, tells of the Nazi dictator's final days in his Berlin bunker at the end of WWII

Downfall is a 2004 German historical war drama film written and produced by Bernd Eichinger and directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel. It depicts the final days of Adolf Hitler (portrayed by Bruno Ganz)l who received international acclaim for his performance) during the Battle of Berlin in World War II, when Nazi Germany is on the verge of total defeat at the hands of the Allies. The film is a German-Austrian-Italian co-production.

Principal photography took place from on location in Berlin, Munich, and Saint Petersburg, Russia. As the film is set in and around the Führerbunker, Hirschbiegel used eyewitness accounts, survivors' memoirs, and other historical sources during production to reconstruct the look and atmosphere of 1940s Berlin. The screenplay was based on the books Inside Hitler's Bunker by historian Joachim Fest and Until the Final Hour by Traudl Junge, one of Hitler's secretaries, among other accounts of the period.

It was controversial with audiences for showing a human side of Hitler and members of the Third Reich. Downfall was a critical and commercial success.
