Downfall

Possibly the most excruciating film-watching experience I have ever had. The Nazis are first humanized; then you see them say terrible things and perform monstrous acts. There is one scene for which nothing in the world, not even knowing it's going to happen, can prepare a person. Not for the faint. Wow.


FMFM (earlier): The Ramsey Lewis Trio's all-groove The In Crowd, and the stunning Ellington Uptown ("grab it and run," which I did for just $1).
