The Architecture of Doom
(1989)This unusual documentary feature makes the case that the whole Nazi movement was an outgrowth of a perverted German aesthetic which placed an inordinate value on cleanliness and magnified the bourgeois country's tendencies to elevate kitsch and sentimentality to the level of central cultural values.

Whether the logic is compelling to the viewer or not, this documentary contains a wealth of carefully assembled and thought-provoking images, many of them seen nowhere else.
