A fascinating experiment in documentary filmmaking, The DoubIe Headed EagIe charts the stealthy rise of the Nazi party in the wake of WorId War l, as witnessed from the perspective of a neutral bystander.
Rather than offering a contemporary interpretation of history through narration and interviews, fiImmaker Lutz Becker allows the disturbing saga of German fascism to unfold on its own terms. The rise of the SociaIist National Party is depicted aImost exclusively in newsreel footage and clips of features from the period. The result is a kaleidoscopic view of the German peopIe 1918-1933, suffering the economic and human devastation of WorId War l, experiencing the rebirth of its cuIture and economy during the Weimar RepubIic, and aIlowing its festering racism, paranoia and Iust for military strength to spread and become embraced as a system of political beliefs.
In The DoubIe Headed EagIe, one catches gIimpses of AdoIf Hitler when he was littIe more than a young poIitical enthusiast, at the time when the Nazi party was domain of a handfuI of extremists. The most chilIing aspect of The DoubIe Headed Eagle is the gradual, aImost invisible growth of the party over the course of the film, concluding with the fiery ceIebration of the Nazi assumption of power in 1933. |
