A classic collection of film essays/review by the legendary professor Peter von Bagh. My only complaint here is that some of the most interesting one's are missing, like Napoleon from 1928. I think they messed up by picking all the obvious and popular ones.

There's this story from WW1 where soldiers refused to fight and instead celebrated Christmas together for a day. That is the power of an idea that transcends time and matter.
The Testament of Dr. Mabuse takes the premise and twists it into something vile and evil. The mighty Mabuse dies at the beginning, leaving behind him a testament of a sort full of wicked and evil ideas meant to destroy all of morality and the best of humanity. The story was inspired by Hitler.

Take a subject matter as boring as ballet, add in old-school special effects and the art of editing and what you get is a world of fantasy.

This is a show for people who know very little about training or sports. Not to say it's bad, but the fact that they have to explain every little detail makes it difficult to enjoy.

The mass scenes are still nice to look at, but the poor narrative sucks the life out of the film. I think it is good that the Italians at least had decency to keep it short enough: this is barely longer than 1h and 40 mins, which is just right.

This film is boring as balls, but highly interesting material for anyone interested in the psychological side of holocaust and totalitarian state. For example, this is not subtle in any way, but very preachy,because that's pretty much how authoritarian psychology works: people don't and can't have any thoughts of their own, but they must be told what to think by the leader or some expert under his command. Compare this to the Triumph of Will for example, which was made at the beginning of Nazi era when most people hadn't accustomed to that kind of thinking.

Surprisingly boring book. Maybe Rommel didn't have that interesting life story, so what can you do. I think the writer really wanted to emphasize, how Rommel wasn't a Nazi and didn't take part in the atrocities. All the additional details were more interesting than the main subject.
