Fateless

Easily the best film about victims of the Holocaust. Makes Schindlers List look like a soap opera.

While I definitely think the subject matter is important and it's not a badly made film, it just wasn't for me. Or maybe it was just my mood the day I tried to watch it- but either way, I couldn't put myself through it. The acting is good, and it's not that it isn't interesting- I just couldn't put myself through it.

An interesting movie about the personal experience of a Hungarian Jew during the Holocaust. Still, you cannot really empathize with the weird apathetic personality of the main character until the last reflections of the movie.

Rising Above Personal Horror, learning the Meaning of Life in a Concentration Camp--Hauntingly beautiful!!

This is a great movie based on the autobiographical novel by Nobel Prize winning novelist Imre Kertész. It tells the story of a teenage Hungarian Jewish boy sent to the Nazi death camps near thye end of the war. The horrors of the camps, and of the Nazi's antisemitism in general, are well represented but not the major concern of the film. It is much more about survival -- bodily and spiritually -- amid the banality of evil in the camps. The viewer hopefully will agree with the boy in the end that life is worth living and that more important than the horrors is the reality that some happiness could be found even in the midst of the evil of Auschwitz and Buchenwald.

the film name is fateless, but the film has a fate

The cinematography was beautiful.

The cinematography was amazing. This movie moved me beyond words. Seeing atrocities being carried out in a concentration camp through the eyes of a young boy in his teens made me weep. Its an intense tale of survival through unimaginable situations.

Some beautiful images that rely more often on our prior understanding of Holocaust knowledge than embedding us in the character's struggles.

Of all the Holocaust films I've seen.. this has to be the most raw, graphic, disturbing and sad.... I hope God will forgive all the wrong that humankind has done....
