Italian Bruno Bozzetto adapted the premise of Disney’s Fantasia to his own ends, with animations to illustrate classical music.
The famous sequence of the dinosaurs’ apocalyptic evolutionary march conveys Bozzetto’s darker world view and is a worthy counterpart to Fantasia’s Night On Bald Mountain.
Is this, like, a 1970s trip, man? Bozzetto attempts a more psychedelic vision than Disney, with sumptuous colour effects and evocative, surreal sequences.

 Guardian Unlimited Film Reviews Downfall
Perhaps the most uncomfortable taboo that Downfall breaks is having Hitler played with gusto by a German-speaking actor (although Bruno Ganz is actually Swiss.) In the Anglophone world there seems to be a convention, perhaps born of fastidiousness and a victor's gallantry, that Hitler is best played by a classically trained Brit.
Insofar as there is a moral centre to the film, it resides in the person of Hitler's young personal secretary, Traudl Junge, on whose memoir, Until the Final Hour, it is partly based, and who was recently the subject of a riveting documentary, Blind Spot.
Juliane Kühler as Eva Braun and Bruno Ganz as Hitler await the end in Downfall, which will open in Israeli on May 19

Bruno Bozzetto (Milan, 1938) made his first animation short Tapum la Storia delle Armi (Tapum, the History of Weapons) at age 20, and immediately drew the audience's and the critics' attention.
Bozzetto first achieved worldwide recognition with his character Mr Rossi: a middle-aged average man that was the star of many animation shorts and 3 feature films.
But Bozzetto's main passion is still producing his own shorts: he won many awards in his career, most notably the Golden Bear at the 1990 Berlin Film Festival in the "best short" category for Mister Tao, and the 1991 Oscar Nomination for Grasshoppers.

 The Quiet Earth (1985)
The scenes of Bruno Lawrence’s cracking up are well conveyed in striking, often playful, collages of images - him wandering in a ladies slip, taking whatever material possessions he wants, driving full-size trains as though it were a toy train set, and one beautiful image of him wandering in the rain playing the sax.
Far less effective is when the film abandons the lyrical, visual poetry of isolation and introduces two other characters in the second half.
If possible see the film in a theatre with a stereo system - the sudden ringing of a telephone or the rolling of an unseen can from one side of the speakers to the other makes the desolation seem even more absolute by its interruption.

 SPLICEDwire "Downfall" movie review (2005) "Downfall" review, Oliver Hirschbiegel, Bruno Ganz, Alexandra Maria Lara
The fantastic Bruno Ganz (best known in the US for "Wings of Desire") plays Hitler with a broken kind of humanity that makes his evil subtler than expected, but by extension all the more chilling.
The film is based in part on Junge's accounts of events, and actress Alexandra Maria Lara rises to the occasion, but the woman's continued willful naiveté, and her loyalty and affection for her Fuehrer, makes Traudl far less sympathetic than was clearly intended.
His senior staff is accounted for nearly every moment of the detailed film, but none of them stands out except Ulrich Matthes as psychotically loyal propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and Corinna Harfouch as his wife.
