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: TODD MCCARTHY.
