The Goebbels Experiment
In this film the actor Kenneth Branagh reads pages of the diary kept by the Nazi chief of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. Upon first hearing that description, you might think that this would be a rather poor idea for a film, but you would be wrong. By hearing the man's inner thoughts while being exposed to visuals from the times in question, you get to take a fascinating look at his inner demons, psychological quirks, and human (er.. inhuman) qualities. The film paints a fascinating and disturbing picture of this man's slow march from an early admirer of Hitler, to becoming the propaganda chief of one of history's most evil regimes, to his tragic end in the F¸hrerbunker. All in all, despite being just a voice-over with historical film as the visuals, it is easily one of the most psychologically disturbing films that I have watched this year.
