A story about the cruelty of the human being. Set in WWII, the Nazis are not the only ones who torture, mistreat, or abuse. A brutal coming-of-age. Dickens meets Tarkovski. The violence is constant, but it's not explicit. However, it causes discomfort. The gorgeous B/W cinematography contrasts with the faces of depravity. Europe against the Jews. A horror movie where the devil is the human being.

A journey into the hell of war through the eyes of a child, horror is everywhere, the only beauty is in its aesthetic melancholy, with breathtaking black and white images. I thought the movie could have balanced the story better and focused on its development, as I felt that too many violent, graphic and unnecessary scenes took over, the overtones seeming to be there more to shock gratuitously than to tell or fill out a story.

(EXCUSE THE ALL CAPS-KEYBOARD IS BROKEN) I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FILM AFTER READING IT IN HIGH SCHOOL. SUCH A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN STORY OF HORROR. THIS ADAPTATION FELT LIKE A SILENT FILM FILM FROM THE 30'S WITH NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE THERE IS NO DIALOGUE. MAKING THIS LON More
