Just saw this movie on DVD and was totally blown away by one of the most demented, yet outstanding films on the raise of the Nazi party in pre-WWII Germany.
Some of the highlights (or should I say low) of this film include: family murders, sexual abuse of an 11 year old girl (who hangs herself), a gay orgy of stormtroopers (many cross-dressing), drug abuse, a gang rape, and a son stripping and bedding his own mother!
The first part of the film is slightly boring and you have to play close attention to the plot and characters because there are a number to choose from. By the time the film ends, 6 members of the main cast will have been murdered or commit suicide.
The acting is outstanding, the little 11 year old kissing her molester is greatly disturbing, as is the scene of the nude mother moaning and groaning as her son "does her up". This movie is not for the faint of heart.
