Negative Positive
Title: Emotionally Intense and Intellectually Stimulating
Review: This is a Masterpiece Theatre (note spelling) piece from the BBC. So the German Jews have Brit accents. The story opens with some modern-day tourists entering Auschwitz with a tour guide, but the body of the story is back when the camp was an active work camp and death camp. A group of prisoners decide they are going to hold a trial for the person they feel is most responsible for their misery: God. At first the charge was murder, but eventually they decided on breach of covenant. There are both accusers and defenders, including some very scholarly arguments, some very poignant testimony, and eventually a decision by the court.It is artfully done, and no clear bias is expressed. Therefore, I'm not going to tell you either the verdict of the court or what happens next. Let's just say I liked the film quite a lot.
Is the review positive or negative?
