Turn off the (Warsaw) ghetto blaster

Rating: 3/10 (4 November 2003)

Thats all we need, another overwrought, epic length (but not epic quality)tale of the Warsaw ghetto. Sure, it was terrible. But so are many other historical events including the Nazi like treatment of Palestinians by the Israelis. Why doesn't somebody do a movie about that? There probably have been more movies about the Warsaw ghetto than about any other aspect of the war. Quite apart from the politics of it, it's a tedious, predictable, uninspiring and far too long film with endless scenes of shouting and shooting Nazis, starving children and buildings blowing up every few moments. That last part is good because it does tend to wake you up during this class A snoozer.
