Got a little too much joy in your life? Looking for something to even out an unnatural high with an industrial-sized dose of bummer? Seek no further. At this point this relatively brief documentary on Nazi concentration camps is approaching its 50th birthday. That makes it one of the very first attempts to wrap the horror of the Holocaust up into a neat little cinematic package. Despite its somewhat intrusive artiness, this remains one of the most compelling film recountings of one of the darkest chapters in human history. Worth seeing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
