At the close of the First World War, Germany enters into the new Weimar Republic following the collapse of the Kaiser's Imperial Reich. Max Rothman, a veteran of the Great War and now art dealer, searches for new talent on the streets of Munich. Into Max's life comes an eccentric young artist, also an Army veteran, named Adolf Hitler. Impressed by Hitler's artistic ability, Max befriends the former Army Corporal and attempts to guide him into the life of a successful artist. Hitler, however, soon finds himself losing interest in art and begins studying the art of public speaking. Max must convince Hitler that art is the better of line of work...before it's too late.

The only negative aspect of the movie is the badly contrasting yellow subtitles against the film's immursive dark and desaturated setting, which plays as a major visual mechanic for depiction of the undedrlying yet vivid message. Not recommended for non english speaking viewers, limited subtitle languages.
somewhat interesting but long movie of Hitler and the "What if" story of his career as an artist that could have saved the world from this tyrannical reign. Being a Cusack fan this is at the bottom of the heap.
Noah Taylor plays a fantastic young hittler this movie screams to me... its got so many little magical moments and it is full of historical fact its all about juxtaposition everything is in parallel and in paradox its great
