but settling more towards the bottom. I thought Cusak did a good job and felt that the Hitler part was way overplayed--but, how do we know how he really was?

I thought it had good production values. But, at the end, I couldn't understand why Leelee was even in the credits. I wonder if most of her part hit the editing floor?

Now, INVINCIBLE is your next homework assignment. I have never been impressed by Herzog's "stuff" but I feel more comfortable with this film as it is "based" on the true story of the Jewish "Samson" in the emerging Nazi Germany. Tim Roth's portrayl of the occult master was the pinnicale of screen nastiness. The other players, rather unkown to me, were only fair. (Why can the Brits be so "nasty"? What unfufilled desires do they harbor?)
