Patrick, c'est ce bon!
Not the classic some have proclaimed, but I thought the emotion it conveyed---helpless passivity in the face of overwhelming brutality---was done so with great skill. The lead actor overcame the tendency to overact, so prevalent these days, and yet he managed to show the character "growing" as his will to live became stronger.
To be Jewish and see this movie---it may prove too wrenching. The tension never releases, it slowly builds and builds...and then builds some more.
An immensely sad experience, yes. But the fierce will to live and the unconquerable nature of the protagonist showed better than any truism the dignity of the human spirit.
