Dithyrambic

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 1998)

This is the best film I have seen in a long time. Don't be put off by anything you have heard, or because you think "it's impossible to laugh at the Holocaust"... This film asserts the power of love, life, and humour in the face of unimaginable adversity. It's *not* a realistic film, but it's a real tragedy - narrated in comic mode. It's gentle, amusing, and touching. Folk were weeping at the end, and I nearly was myself. I went unwillingly to see it (because I *hated* Benigni's The Monster), but I'll see it again soon.
