In Reply to: RE: Sokurov's, "Moloch." The best film I've seen about Hitler posted by Victor Khomenko on November 12, 2007 at 15:58:03:

The beginning scenes of Eva exercising; the dinner; the picnic; the cleric and Adolph provided invaluable sight into worthless lives, without purpose except instant gratification. Long periods of tedium and exhaustion and then frenetic activity.
By de-mythologizing the beast, Sokurov has created a Hitler every bit as powerful as the historical image and yet, in so doing, he has robbed the man of his mystique, his larger-than-life persona, leaving a physically sick, egomaniacal, and horrid picture.
But that's too cerebral: I think the film works as art, as entertainment.
"Vasya" already was in my queue.
I have around 15 Russian films yet in it.
I didn't, by the way, find "The Second Circle" anti-humanist.
Rather, in the tender sentiments the young man showed his dead father, I saw the deepest human feelings. The scene where he adjusted his father's eyes was, to me, incredibly powerful.
