Italian, that is

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 1998)

Such a film would be possible only in Italy. Every German attempt to make a similar movie would be extremely painful, every Hollywood attempt would be "Schindler's list the second" without the positive sides of Spielberg's movie, every French attempt would be "Resistance" - you can go on in that way. But the Italians, with their Fascist past along with their comparative innocence in relation to anti-semitism, are the perfect people to make such an unbelievable, moving film.
