Stalags carries this line of inquiry forward, cramming an overwhelming amount of information and ideas into its 63 minutes -- not nearly enough time to explore satisfactorily all that it raises. Apr 9, 2008 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Unfortunately, Ari Libsker's hour-plus docu on this potentially mind-boggling topic meanders disconnectedly, as various experts, collectors and storytellers kick around anecdotes and theories that tend to cancel each other out. Apr 8, 2008 | Full Review…

Empowerment fantasies of a decimated and injured race, a kind of post-traumatic Jewish mother syndrome, or a bit of both? The film mulls these strange notions of the politics of pornography, that would have likely sent Freud's mind into a tailspin. Apr 16, 2008 | Full Review…

A chilling expose' which shows how Holocaust internees have been victimized twice, violated again by purveyors of smut who would stoop so low as to fabricate a pack of sadomasochistic lies for a quick buck. Apr 16, 2008 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

[Director] Libsker rightfully questions how sex and sadism have become the distorting lens through which we think about the Holocaust. Apr 9, 2008

Libsker's documentary not only explores the roots of the Stalags and the means by which they were produced and sold, but even does a little detective work into the identities of the authors themselves. Apr 9, 2008 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…
