Ex-painter and World War 1 veteran Max Rothman owns the most successful art gallery in Munich. After an opening party for his latest show, Max meets Adolf Hitler, a fellow war veteran and aspiring artist. Hitler is a confused, lonely young man, and Max takes him under his wing and encourages him to paint. But Hitler fails to deal with his personal demons through his art and transfers his creative talents to politics, where at last he finds an outlet for his raw beliefs. Abandoning Max, Hitler begins his career, setting in motion what will be the most terrible period of 20th Century history. (Pathé Distribution UK)

Hitler: The Rise of Evil was indeed an imperfect film, burdened both by its purely television-style appearance and its brevity. However, compared to Max, it is a truly masterful film. Max, on the one hand, is dull, uninteresting, and clichéd from a dramatic perspective, and on the other, it is a misleading way of depicting history. It is far from the fact that Hitler's artistic talent was undeniably minimal; rather, the creators failed to convincingly and realistically capture his character and the circumstances that shaped his value hierarchy. The dialogues placed in the mouths of the film characters are unconvincing and do not correspond to the thinking of the time. Overall impression: 40%.
