Reviews for Perlasca
1 - 7 (sorted by fresh rating)
Negrin's film is a well-deserved tribute to a principled man who dared to act when principles no longer counted for anything.

More courageous than Spielberg in its depiction of Nazi brutality, Perlasca occasionally feels like the made-for-Italian-TV film that it is.

04/15/05
Giorgio Perlasca, who has been compared to Oskar Schindler, deserves better than this Italian television film.

Perlasca epitomizes the kind of soft-core Holocaust porn that people point to as evidence of how survivor memory can be vulgarized and diminished through dramatization.
