Featured review
just great
I remember the short video, on Youtube, presenting the encounter of Nicholas Winter and "his"children in show studio.
This film offers entire story. And it does more than well. Difficult to write why "One Life"is absolutely touching. Indeed, the story of young idealist man helping children from a far country matters. Like the reference to Ukraine of today. Like the great example of use your life in noble purpose.
In same measure, a rich in beautiful moments , from the inspired portrait of Babi Winton, proposed by. Helena Bonham Carter to the dialogue between Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce ( reminding Two Popes ), to the great crafted tension and cinematography.
I admitt, I was not impressed by Schindler list of Steven Spielberg, but this film, admirable film, touched me to tears. Not as film about Shoah but as good kick to define my life as useful and as answer of past for a splendid gesture, mix of convinction, dedication and activ compassion for other.
