Molokh (1999)

International Title: Moloch.
Synopsis: Hitler and entourage go to a house at the Alps for a weekend.
Appraisal: A slow film, that never really got to me. Like the only other film by this director that I saw ("Mother and Son"), there are glimpses of beauty here and there, but the whole is too flimsy and unconvincing. In 'Molokh' the theme, as I perceived it, is the contrast between the male and female views of the world. The male (impersonated by Hitler) tries to deny the 'female', material reality, and the inexorability of Death. These female aspects are impersonated by Eva Braun, that at one point exclaims "How can you defeat Death? You are mad.", or something vaguely similar. But it all comes out too pretentious and boring for my perhaps too mundane tastes.
