If you enjoy watching grass grow, water boil, silent movies then you are in for one fine treat here! I wanted to hurl something at the screen every single time a question was asked and yet another long hard stare was skillfully employed to really get the drama going. The Camp scenes were brutal and I wish someone would stop making me hate hate hate every German soldier ever! Was there an additional 3 million non-Jews persecuted and wasn't Poland primarily Catholic?
I found the English translation to be poor in many instances, probably the worst to date but some reviews claimed there were none at all, so guess I need not complain.
Did Hannah ever have that baby? Did she end up staying with Tomasz forever when they reunited? Could this film move ANY slower with stilted, limited, meaningless dialogue? This is not my first time at the Rodeo with WWII atrocities but this was disrespectful. The screenplay adeptly drew the audience in with the illicit Camp affair but lost any capacity to evoke any emotion other than frustration beyond the escape.
I have great patience for Foreign, Silent, Abstract, Progressive films and gave it my all with this mess. I could not wait for the end to see what happens and had to endure all the travel scenes, smoke billowing, blank facial expressions etc.
Arghhhhhh, do not recommend anything here. It is based on a true story and you wonder how can one pull off an affair under such strict supervision. That was the only moment when you might have an inkling of appreciation for survival mode.
If you are from Poland this depicts horrific acts by both enemy and ally. I did learn a few words and it seems difficult to learn Polish.
