A tribute to a fascinating film shot by Alfred Hitchcock in 1958, starring James Stewart and Kim Novak, and to the city of San Francisco, California, where the magic was created; but also a challenge: how to pay homage to a masterpiece without using its footage; how to do it simply by gathering images from various sources, all of them haunted by the curse of a mysterious green fog that seems to cause irrepressible vertigo…

Adolf Hitler no terminó la escuela ni tuvo ninguna formación profesional. Ocasionalmente vivió en refugios para indigentes o en la misma calle, negándose a buscar un trabajo estable. Aún a día de hoy parece inexplicable que pudiera llegar a Führer del Reich alemán, uno de los hombres más poderosos del siglo XX, y ser responsable de la muerte de millones de personas. Alemania lo adoró y lo siguió con fe ciega al abismo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A pesar de todo, mantuvo sus orígenes y su vida privada en el mayor de los secretismos. Ahora los contemporáneos de Hitler, desde su nacimiento hasta su muerte, nos ayudan a arrojar luz sobre la gran cuestión pendiente: ¿Quién fue en realidad Adolf Hitler?

They’ve become the human face of inhuman barbarity. Leaders like Hitler, Idi Amin Dada, Stalin, Kim Jong Il, Saddam Hussein, Nicolae Ceausescu, Bokassa, Muammar Kadhafi, Khomeini, Mussolini and Franco governed their countries completely cut off from reality. These paranoid leaders were driven to abuse their power by the pathology of power itself. Dictators are driven by a relentless, thought-out determination to impose themselves as infallible, all-knowing and all-powerful beings. But they are also men ruled by their caprices, uncontrollable impulses, and reckless fits of frenzy, which paradoxically render them as human as anyone else. The abuses they committed were clearly atrocious, yet some of them were as outlandish as the characters portrayed in the film The Dictator. They sunk to depths worthy of Kafka: so incredibly absurd, they are outrageously funny.
