Bonjour Tristess

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 2016)

I have difficulty to come here and give my two cents worth when I read such eloquent and so well written accounts of this work. I usually don't repeat the story for 2 reasons, one explained above and the second I know that there is usually a synopsis of every movie already given. So I just come here to share my feeling I resented watching movies. Here, like many, I reacted positively but with lot of pain and sadness. Thought provoking? Certainly as this film deals with many facets of our "humanity" or the lack of it. The holocaust was such a surreal events that people who live with ordinary reality had trouble to perceive or accept. And the many who somehow were part of the tragedy, save the victims, weren't necessarily evil people as well. "human" is such a quality or rather an adjective that can have extreme representation, the good Samaritan or the serial killer with almost everything in between. I personally saw an interesting introduction of this person who dealt with life the best she could but with lot of respect for what she was doing, and this was acknowledged by her peers and superiors at work. Her secrete handicap led her in a different direction although she applied the same integrity. Her logic defied those with higher intellect. The conclusion is well handled and fitting, and the acting all around was brilliant. Well this may already amount to 2 cents so I'll leave it to that.
