Review of Divided We Fall (2000) by Byron B — 17 Jun 2011
Divided We Fall is one the nominees for the Foreign Language Film Oscar won by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2000. This is a very different film than Ang Lee's martial arts masterpiece, but it's still a very strong film.
There were points early this film when I admit I was thinking, "Another Holocaust movie? What's left to say?" But then the characters really began to engage me. Everyone here is human. The couple hiding the Jewish concentration camp escapee are not necessarily happy to be risking their lives.
Others have already turned him away. Horst, their Nazi collaborator acquaintance is a boorish man, but even he has another, better side.
