Simply put, this film is brilliant and truly underrated! As an avid student of World War II history, especially in Germany, Alone in Berlin, deftly illustrates the suffocating hegemony of the Nazi system. All levels of society come under the hypnotic spell and depraved brutality of the Third Reich. Far too few films capture the sheer, daily terror, of German life under fascism. Alone in Berlin actualizes this palpable horror. The extraordinary heroism and courage of Otto and Ana Hampel, prove that even small acts of resistance, make a world of difference!
