Product Description
From Amazon.com
This retro-futuristic adventure depicts a 1964 in which Hitler won the war and Joe Kennedy Sr. is U.S. president. Europe is known as Germania and opens its borders to American journalists, hoping to line up the U.S. as an ally against Russia. Set design and costumes very effectively create a potent and prosperous state, culled both from imagination and the history books. More downbeat and perhaps more effective than Robert Harris's chilling novel, Fatherland is brought to life by Rutger Hauer as an SS officer who stumbles onto eye-opening secrets. Miranda Richardson is the tough-cookie American caught up in a web of lies made all the more intriguing by a superb supporting cast. They hook up to solve a murder and uncover an atrocity dating back to World War II. Watch for a particularly nasty Jean Marsh in a supporting role; she steals every scene in which she appears. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Excellent in places
Dec 10 2011
Format:VHS Tape
As noted by others, the film does a really good job of creating a 'What if the Nazis won?' scenario. The central premise is also strong.
What ultimately brings it all undone is the rather bizarre finale.
An unappreciated 'niche market' film, I guess. But certainly worth watching.

this is a what if story about if hitler would have won ww2.its a hbo-back to the 1860s-movie so no stars in this one.the kids will probably fall asleep if they watch it.it isthe second best 3rd reich based movie ever.most of the head full of crap-forced in by society and school types will be offended .but anyone with a mind will enjoy it.the real message here is you cant belive everything you here or read.

Superb speculation about our world as it might have been.
The theme of "Fatherland" is imaginative, and constitutes one of the best "alternate history" scenario stories I have ever come across. Read more

An adaptation of Robert Harris's No.1 bestseller
With such actors as Rutger Hauer, Miranda Richardson and Michael Kitchen the film had all the promise to do the book credit. Sadly it falls short. Read more

Alternate History Become Alternate Nightmare
It's 1963, and in the super-state of Nazi Germania a detective finds a body that could unravel the triumphant Third Reich. I heartily recommend this movie, and the book. END
