Saddam

A fascinating and surrealistic portrait of the megalomaniac behind the self-created myth of Saddam Hussein and the machinations of his dictatorial reign. It charts Saddam's personality cult by means of unique footage and interviews with people in his inner circle, including his cousin, his personal filmmaker and his architect. The film allows us a glimpse into Saddam's odd personal life and shows him in a more intimate way than ever before. With twenty-one luxurious palaces, underground bunkers and no regrets about killing his in-laws and cousins, the dictator who brought Anthrax from the U.S. and spilt it on the Kurds, happens to have a deep phobia of germs and body odours and a penchant for wide ties.
