'By rooting the existence of Neo-Nazism in high society's refusal to engage directly with the continued fascination with Hitler, and by subsequently making a film about fascism in the mode of a trash horror mockumentary, Schlingensief suggest that coming to terms with the past is not only a matter of politics, but a matter of taste as well.' TF/ATS
The last hour in the Führerbunker shows the key figures of the Nazi regime on the brink of its downfall fighting a private war of their own. Gorging, screwing, and machinating: the dark hallways of the Führerbunker are the location for all kinds of excesses. Shot in complete darkness in an original World War II bunker during a 16-hour period, the only light source is Schlingensief's flashlight guiding the camera through the controlled chaos; his cast acting to the point of exhaustion, the banality of evil is exposed in its integral obscenity.
