      • Oct 31, 2010

        This film is hard to watch, but the performances are profound and the cinematography is breath taking. The depths of suffering seem to be limitless, and thiis film portrays that brilliantly. I do not recommend this film for children. It is a mature work that is completely disturbing. While similar films capitalize on the Holocaust brutality, this is a different perspective regarding the erosive effects of the endless, dehumanizing routine upon the psyche. How anyone was able to survive one of these camps, then return to normal society, is beyond me.

        <a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i32.tinypic.com/27yrew0.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> for disturbing images, nudity, language. I have seen many movies about Holocaust, but this Hungarian one, Fateless is quite impressive.Making a Holocaust movie is a challenge, because the director must struggle to maintain the scenes powerful, and not to be comparing with other Holocaust movies. Fateless, had this, and it showed us that we who were not there in the camps, can never imagine how that was like. It had little dialogue, but still it was a story that was watchable and had an affect on the viewer.

        There can be beauty anywhere - even in the Nazi death camps. This film is filled with touching moments, some of the rawest I've seen in film, and is an interesting take on the coming-of-age story: what if you spent your teens in a concentration camp? How would you look back on it?

        The cinematography's warm, the characters cold, and the territory familiar.
