THE EMPTY MIRROR
(U.S., 1996 118 min.)
A virtual one-man performance piece by British
actor Norman Rodway, The Empty Mirror imagines a postwar Hitler
holed up in an underground bunker dictating his memoirs to a blond
officer. Declaring his legacy a success because he achieved immortality,
he sees his life's achievements as the creation of visionary art on the
most massive scale. The politics and moral acceptability of the film
could easily be dismissed but, for anyone willing to ponder the
specifics of Hitler's twisted mind and acts, there are elements here to
engage the interest. Todd McCarthy, Variety.
CRITIC'S CHOICE:
