Review of Europa Europa (1990) by Stephan B — 04 Feb 2007

I've seen pretty much every film that has WWII as its subject matter, and this film is easily in my top 3. The fact that most Americans have never seen it is a dreadful shame, because it's quite different from the typical American treatment of the Holocaust era in films.

While I do like films such as Schindler's List, the approach taken in this film is more personal and emotional and less charicatured and therefore more successful.
