just another holocaust film

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2003)

I have seen many films about the holocaust and I was reluctant to see yet another one until I read the rave reviews. Although this was not a bad film, I fail to see its uniqueness and frankly, I was disappointed. The brutality, humiliation, inhumanity have all been shown before. Perhaps we need to see it over and over in order to never forget. In that case, this movie succeeded. But a ground-breaking work it is not.
