"In his 1992 production Gorilla Bathes at Noon he incorporates a sequence from Mikhail Chiaureli's The Fall of Berlin (another well-known Soviet cinematic monument to Stalin) to call attention to this film's resemblance to Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will" --Disintegration in Frames, Pavle Levi, 2007 |

The Fall of Berlin is a Soviet film in two parts directed by Mikheil Chiaureli, released in 1950 by the Mosfilm Studio. The script was written by Pyotr Pavlenko, and the musical score composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. It starred Mikheil Gelovani as Joseph Stalin.
Portraying the history of the Second World War with a focus on a highly positive depiction of the role the Soviet leader played in the events, it is considered one of the most important representations of Stalin's cult of personality.
