Title: A Love Story
Review: Although much can be said about Jews leaving Germany prior to Hitler sealing the border, it has all been said before.The thrust of this movie, pardon the pun, is the husband's desperation for his wife's love and support. He wants to be something and do something with his life and yet, here he is self-exiled to Kenya to sit on a farm. He wants his wife to desire him but she is aloof and remote. At times his quiet desperation is palpable.For me, this view was different and interesting with the back-drop being the age-old tale of the Holocaust (rather than at the forefront of the story).This tale will resonate with anyone who has been adrift at life from their home, their family and the person they love. Truly touching film.
