That Hitler was mad is well known. That he was mad about art, not so well.

Top critics, in their words
Fresh
The Rape of Europa, an engrossing film based on Lynn Nicholas' 1995 book of the same name, offers a fascinating new perspective on an era that sometimes seems as if it has no more secrets.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
It's long for a documentary, almost two hours, but it has a big story to tell.
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic
Fresh
This is a vast subject, ideally suited to a series of films. It's at its most moving when focusing on the small stories of individual artworks taken from their owners and restored to the families decades later.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

As thorough as the movie is, it could easily devote another hour to cases like this.
