A beautiful movie, well acted, particularly Rush, who's narration is splendid.
The harrowing events of the holocaust, persecution of the Jews, the paranoia that one would feel when one assumes that their neighbours are just looking for an opportunity to report them to an authority, and then said neighbours enjoying the satisfaction of seeing one mans justice destroying anothers very existence......and yet it's told in a pleasant manner, focusing on hope rather than despair.
Apparently it deviates from the book, as most movies do, so depending on what sort of viewer you are, you could read the book first and possibly be disappointed, skip the book altogether and just enjoy the movie adaptation, or watch, having read the book, and accept that what is on the printed page, doesn't always work in a movie.
