Hitler's dream of Aryan supremacy becomes a living nightmare. This thought provoking HBO Original recreates the January 20, 1942 conference at Wannsee. Fifteen high-ranking leaders in the Nazi machine gather to discuss what is called the Final Solution. Over six million lives hang in the balance as Hitler's minions need to decide what to do with their storage problem...storage of Jews. Heading this conference is Chief of Security Reinhard Heydrich(Kenneth Branagh)and SS Major Adolf Eichmann(Stanley Tucci). A solution must be met on how and by what method to reshape the world by eliminating Jews, homosexuals, intellectuals and political opposers. This movie is based on the actual only surviving record of that meeting.
Kudos to director Frank Pierson. A very 'wordy' movie that manages to hold your attention for about 96 minutes and gives you something to think about for a very long time after. Branagh and Tucci are excellent. Others of note in the cast: Colin Firth, Peter Sullivan, Ewan Stewart, Jonathan Coy, Barnaby Kay and Ben Daniels.
