memorable moments but generally overrated

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2003)

Adrian Brody's appointment as best actor was a political correct one. He benefited from an sympathetic role as holocaust survivor. Too long, repetitive. Must Polansky depict every event even some have nothing to add to the "story" ? There are some memorable shots, especial those shot from a window watching horrific events in the apartment across the street. One loose end,why didn't Zpilmann at least ask the kind nazi officer what his name was when he could have had him shot ?
