Award-winning filmmaker, Marina Willer (Cartas da Mae), creates an impressionistic visual essay as she traces her father's family journey as one of only twelve Jewish families to survive the Nazi occupation of Prague during World War II. Photographed by Academy Award nominee César Charlone (City of God), the film travels from war-torn Eastern Europe to the color and light of South America and is told through the voice of Willer's father Alfred (as narrated by Tim Piggot Smith, Quantum of Solace), who witnessed bureaucratic nightmares, transportations and suicides but survived to build a post-war life as an architect in Brazil.
Leave your thoughts about Red Trees.
| The Film StageJared MobarakWiller’s essay film is obviously a cathartic experience, her documenting a family history that transcends the personal towards the universal |
| Film InquirySophia CowleyWith Red Trees, Marina Willer does something both intimate and daring. Its vivid shots ensure the entire film plays out like a series of moving paintings. |
| Slant MagazineKeith WatsonThe banality of Marina Willer’s voiceover only goes to prove the old cliché that a picture is worth a thousand words. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe sad truth is that we’ve heard countless harrowing stories of the Holocaust, and this one, for the most part, isn’t presented in a way that makes it indelible or urgent. |
| Village VoiceCraig D. LindseyIn the end, this relentlessly scenic travelogue/valentine is Willer literally giving her old man peace of mind. |
| Film Journal InternationalFrank LoveceA daughter's documentary about her Holocaust-survivor father, based on his remarkable and eloquent memoirs, suffers from a jumbled chronology and some twee self-indulgence. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinCinematically and emotionally it’s a mixed bag, a slow-moving visual treatise and occasional vanity piece that requires — but doesn’t always earn — our indulgence. |
| User ReviewMatthew WVisually beautiful; subject important, but audio narrative dull. Shame |
