powerful

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2003)

For a lack of a better word, I have to say it was "powerful". There are those movies that you watch and forget, and those that become even more significant as time passes, creating a longing for understanding things beyond the simple plot of the movie.
There is no cinema magic as such at work here. It is the detached life of a man who survives one of the ugliest scars in "civilization", and emerges with some kind of dignity.
This film is NOT another Schindler's list. It is very different, but comparable for its strength. Whatever views you may have of the holocaust, don't miss this film.
