The Usual Tastefully Nostalgic Treatment of the Holocaust

Rating: 7/10 (7 October 2019)

As The Holocaust (like the Cold War) recedes further and further into history, so films set during those terrible days are more and more suffused in a warm nostalgic glow.
The title and early plot developments at first appear to promise a variation on 'Fahrenheit 451', but more often we are treated to warm autumnal and winter interiors bathed in amber light and restless steadicam photography that occasionally pauses and stands back to admire the unspoilt snow-covered wartime streets augmented with vintage cars and draped with swastika banners.
