Title: Coming of Age on the Brink of the Holocaust
Review: I hesitated to watch this film because I was afraid it would be one of many depressing WWII videos. While this is a dramatic movie, the horrors of the Holocaust are almost on the periphery for most of the movie. The drama begins with a group of young adults/teenagers as they struggle with the usual issues of self idenity. while they are not looking, the reality of Mussolini's fascism creeps in.Without revealing any more plot details, I want to say that it is a very enjoyable, though serious, movie. It is neither Shoa (a great movie) nor The Sound of Music (another great movie) but on an emotional scale it is somewhere in between.
Is the review positive or negative?
