Review of Primo Levi's Journey (2006) by Private U — 05 Sep 2007

I thought this movie was perfect. There are voice-overs from Levi's writing about his travels, but there is no effort wasted in trying to recreate the time through costumes and fake Howitzers. The movie instead does a an ADD montage of Levi's holocaust memorials and the post WWII history of the places he traveled.

If you want to know Levi, read the book. This movie is about following his footsteps and understanding Eastern Europe through comparison. I LOVED it.
