Review of The Counterfeiters (2007) by Terry C — 16 Jun 2015
A reasonable take on a story that's more interesting for the very fact of it than it is in the telling. Does a fair job of emulating the grainy yet lush presentation of mid century European cinema.
Unfortunately, in its presentation of the compromises made by concentration camp inmates, and the way that man can become accustomed to the worst atrocities, it fails to strike an adequate balance between the empathy of the characters and the audience, failing to stir the kind of reaction any story like this should, no matter how many times it is told.
