Bitter-sweet masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2006)

I never thought I can see such a good bitter-comedy about the nazy Holocaust. What makes this movie excellent is not the great and realistic humour, it's not the masterpiece acting of the father, or the incredible talent of such a young boy - his son. This movie let you feel the flavour of a really sad idea about our world: everything is so wrong and twisted, that we have to fake our children's universe so they can live normally in it... It's remarkable how you can follow the story of such a massive horror in the human history with a smile on your face, and also with tears in your eyes. It's funny, but it won't minimize the drama behind the laughter.Really impressive movie, one of a kind !
