Hitler's War on Oil: Objective Baku (2015)
This film tells the story of World War II as experienced by the inhabitants of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, at the time a satellite of Moscow. The very rich oil deposits of the region aroused the covetousness of Hitler who needed the oil from Baku to carry out his program of world domination. His entire campaign of 1942-1943 was aimed at seizing them. But the Soviets and the Allies were determined to prevent him from doing so, by all means, including the most radical, even if it meant wiping the city off the map.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
