Levi's words, mainly from "The Truce" (1963), tell us what he experienced. In turn, we see Poland's hollow post-war factories, nationalism in the Ukraine, Soviet-style Communism in Belarus, the abandoned town of Prypiat (Chernobyl), poverty and emigration from Moldavia, Italian factories in Romania, and on across Hungary and Slovakia to Munich where Levi's rage found no listeners. Then home to Turin. An aged Mario Rigoni Stern remembers his friend. What has changed? Some issues of the war remain unsettled.

Movie Reviews

rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by Louis ProyectSensitive study of the journey taken by Primo Levi in the immediate aftermath of WWII. Mixes his own words with ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down by the end of the USSR and Eastern European socialism. Makes subtle political points t
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranFor while the idea of comparing the Europe of 60 years ago to the Europe of today sounds didactic, the results are anything but. Ferrario turns out to have a delicate, unforced eye for elegant counterpoints, and his style unobtrusively draws you into the journey.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenA sober, melancholy recreation of a journey that Primo Levi took mostly through Eastern Europe, after his liberation from Auschwitz.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's told in such a messy and questionable way to unintentionally diminish Levi's more striking and dark tale.
Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckA rather unfocused but ultimately provocative portrait of Eastern Europe.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Jack MathewsThe film lacks a certain coherence, and Levi - one of Italy's most important postwar writers - is mostly relegated to an excuse for a sociopolitical travelogue.
New York Times - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisVividly impressionistic and delightfully curious.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Julia WallacePrimo Levi's Journey is almost willfully opaque about the actual circumstances of Primo Levi's journey. Who exactly was this man we're meant to be paying homage to, and why did it take him so long to get home?
User Review - 10/10 by Private UI thought this movie was perfect. There are voice-overs from Levi's writing about his travels, but there is no effort wasted in trying to recreate the time through costumes and fake Howitzers. The movie instead does a an ADD montage of Levi's holocaust memorials and the post WWII history of the places he traveled. If you want to know Levi, read the book. This movie is about following his footsteps and understanding Eastern Europe through comparison. I LOVED it.
User Review - 6/10 by Lucie BInteresting documentary retracing Primo Levi's journey back from Auschwitz and what the life is like nowadays in the places he stayed then.
