Review of Triumph of the Spirit (1989) by Cynthia S — 22 Dec 2010
A poorly written and executed film, based on a heartbreaking, harrowing tale, is still a poorly written and executed film. The boxing scenes are actually this bomb's saving grace. Aside from that, "Triumph" is a term that's about as far from proplerly describing this as possible.
Considering the powerful nature of the story, that seems hard to believe, but, behold! Here's the first film of which I am aware that does a total disservice to the plight of Jewish people during the Holocaust.
Bad production values, and trite portrayals of both Germans and Jews make this move uninteresting.
