Disturbing images, violence. Actually, it could be the other way around.
Comparisons are inevitable, as both films star a performer best known for comedy.
Both films center on a man who, by artful invention, gives hope to fellow Jews incarcerated by the Nazis. Hannah Taylor Gordon, playing the orphaned Lina, bears a disturbing resemblance to Anne Frank, who, like Lina, hid from the Nazis in an attic. Lina is hidden in a house owned by Jakob Heym, a Jewish widower who once ran a cafe in a Polish village that now is a Nazi-controlled ghetto. The Nazis herd the Jews in ramshackle trucks, treat them like animals and feed them like pigs. Despair, near-starvation and suicide are common.
