Review of The Grey Zone (2001) by Chelsea K — 08 May 2010
In retrospect, not a bad choice to watch around VE day to add to the natural British news items on remembrance for the armed services and civilians at home. What would you do in their place? I hope it is impossible to imagine what you would do.
What we've got here is a holocaust movie, of course, which reminds me of the utter horror, but does not conjour it up. Perhaps that's ok. The horror cannot and perhaps should not be evoked for entertainment, which is what a movie is, after all.
But if you want to try to evoke an emptional response in yourself or to study the holocaust more academically, then I think this is a perfectly fine movie to accompany those activities. It provides some pictures and some depiction aspects of imagined images and events.
As a stand-alone drama, I didn't really understand it, or the flow of plot.
