| User ReviewEdith NWell-acted Holocaust film mixes sweetness, absurd humor and horror to effectively evoke viewer's intellectual and emotional response to the grim reality of the rounding-up and transportation of Budapest's Jews to Auschwitz. Author George Tabori narrates with surprisingly graceful irony the survival story of his sweet, upbeat mother's ordeal while Michael Verhooven skillfully directs the Brechtian-inspired proceedings with potency, brains and a keen attention to detail. |
