Review
Possibly the best movie in the contest. Didn’t know much about this movie or the holocuast in general. Some of the scenes in this are harrowing, I had a lot of anger at times. If you have seen it you will understand. The performances are excellent. Everything looked very authentic from locations to props and costumes. The story itself is what you feel the most when watching it and I have thought about it a lot since. So in that sense it has done its job well I guess. If you have any interest in war movies taken from a different perspective, I highly recommend this one. Brilliant pick.
Trivia
Adrien Brody became the youngest person to date to win an Academy Award for Best Actor when he won for this film at the age of 29.
