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'... read more »

  I enjoyed this film, if you can call it that. It is well made and very absorbing. It is quite graphic in some scenes and appears to be very realistic when it ... read more »

Evening
- 19 Sep 2007

Ironically, while Evening affects an even split between then and now,... Read more
