Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Armand The novel of Primo Levi is only pretext for build a strange parable. The spirit or the essence of book are absent in this cruel Odyssey. It is not a story about hope or freedom. It is not a moral lesson or image of old tragedy. It is not a movie, but only a trip in the past shadows essence. In many aspects, it is another Radu Mihailescu's "Train de vie". But the message is more harsh and hopeless. The war and the return to home are fruits of ambiguous nostalgia but their crux is always chimera. The land, the life, the words are more different and the old places are elements of "Tystnaden".The fundamental value of film is art of suggestion. The tale of returning is message for survivors of crisis or victims of expectation. in fact, the illusions are life's bricks.

russianwriter THE best film I've seen in years . Primo ( John Turturro in his best role )is a survivor of Auschwitz , survivor of Holocaust . He is Italian Jew saved by Russians at the end of WWII . All he wants is so simple - just to go home . But railroads are destroyed and he has to make a detour true Minsk ( Minsk is a capital of Belorussia . Minsk is a hometown of my mother . Minsk is the city where only 4 buildings was still standing after WWII . Minsk is the city which my mother had to leave when she was 2 years old and hide under the horse cart during the air strikes ... she still can't talk about it .)At the same time he need to learn how to live usual life , how to look without scare , without pain . How to live at all . What makes this film 10 stars out of 5 ... little details , the feeling , the scare in everyone's eyes . I know this feeling . I know this scare . I don't want to remember it , but this film brought it back . And especially now I think everyone have to learn it ... before it is too late. This film is very slow and very deep . Acting on highest level - I even forgot that this is actors "acting". What shocked me most - the details , just little things which are so important , This film have to be watched by everyone and taken deep into our hearts . This kind of story might and have to change our world for better.

lynzee The movie which held great promise seemed to stop short of coherency. The dialog was hard to understand and the characters never really were fully developed. Some things should be left alone as books. This was one of them.The broad scope of the book could not be shown and the internal thought processes simply did not make the transition.

STAiN-6 A really great movie. From my point of view, this hits the same genre that "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Thin Red Line" created in 1998. Francesco Rosi does neither need the bloody pictures of Spielberg nor the beautiful nature of Malick to create the right mood. This was the first time, a film became true applause, in the sneak preview at my favourite cinema in Berlin. Nothing more to tell - everybody should see it.
