Then and Now

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2004)

This masterful film is so timely it is eerie. It is full of impeccable performances and the direction is so specific and thoughtful it is a character in itself. What especially struck me is that while the subject matter deals with the past, it is so painfully relative to our current political situation of occupancy in a foreign land and who actually pays for the sins of the few. It is a work of art that sadly depicts that although we've come far as a world in so many respects, we've barely moved in others. This is a film to be watched again and again, teaching us that we are ALL responsible for the world, for what we do and sometimes even more importantly, for what we choose not to do.
