Very very sad for so many reasons, classic film making and very disturbing.

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2009)

Please watch this. Such a well crafted story and great film making not seen much in modern times. A new personal and very moving take on the German camps in WW2 which allows the viewer to see it from the eyes of a bright eyed 8 year old who just sees good in everything and wants to have fun. He only knows one life, as you would, but what makes the film so good is you feel every emotion he goes through but with your knowledge of history you feel it 10 times as hard.
You soon forget the actors - their role is so good and language wise just think as if you were listening in fluent German. The English accent shows the class structure - much better than a fake German accent or subtitles.
You won't remember many films in your life but I think you'll remember this one.
