Fateless
After his father loses his business and is taken to a labor camp, Gyorgy Koves soon finds himself baffled and alone at Auschwitz-Birkenau, struggling to find meaning in his tragic fate. Gyorgy stoically suffers the slings and arrows of concentration camp life. Amid the deprivation and brutality, he takes solace in the kindness of an array of characters. Gyorgy will have to draw on the memory of these small gestures of humanity when he returns to Budapest and realizes that the horrors he has experienced while interned have left him profoundly alienated from his post-war community.

Good film
Whether or not you enjoy this film will possibly depend on how much the subject matter appeals to you. It's pretty much just a dark tale of a young man's survival in various situations through the holocaust and beyond, which in itself is nothing new, but this (despite being in Hungarian) has at least been put togther thoughtfully. If nothing else it sets the scene without being gratuitously graphic, and is well worth a look.

Evening
- 19 Sep 2007
It's been a while since a single movie mustered a roster of actresses like this (in order of seniority): Vanessa Redgrave, Eileen Atkins, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Toni Collette, Natasha Richardson, Claire Danes, and Mamie Gummer. I suppose the closest challenger I can think of would be The Hours. Coincidentally, or not, novelist Michael Cunningham is responsible for the screenplay here, based on Susan Minot's best-seller. Ironically, while Evening affects an even split between then and now,... Read more
