Reviews for Primo Levi's Journey
1 - 8 (sorted by date)
Top CriticItalian documentary filmmaker Davide Ferrario, who specializes in what he calls "on the road" documentaries, decided to retrace Primo Levi's steps in modern Europe. It was a wise choice.
11/02/07
Top CriticPrimo Levi's Journey is a rather unfocused but ultimately provocative portrait of Eastern Europe.
08/22/07
Top CriticThe 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.
08/17/07
Top CriticVividly impressionistic and delightfully curious.
08/17/07
Top CriticA profound meditation on the unevenness of history, reminding us -- as Faulkner once remarked -- that the past not only isn't dead, it isn't really past at all.
08/16/07
Top CriticPrimo 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?
08/14/07
Top CriticSensitive, sobering, and tinged with respectful melancholy.
10/28/06
Top CriticPrimo Levi brought an extraordinarily empirical eye to all his writing.
