Movie Reviews of The Last Butterfly
Movie Review: Controversial, Brilliant, and Heartbreaking
Summary: 5 Stars
The Last Butterfly is a collage of controversial, brilliant, and heartbreaking, performances as well as containing a fine amount of humor providing us the in-between fragments of true humanity and soul the victims contained within themselves even in the darkest hours of there lives. This film has a fine cast of wonderful performances, the children are fantastic and I do love the mime characteristic of the film, it's splendid. This is a beautiful motion picture without the shiny polished Hollywood glam.
Summary of The Last Butterfly
1st Prize - Vienna Film Festival. Grand Prize - Venice Film Festival. It is wartime - 1944, and Europe is brutalized by the horror of Nazi aggression and inhumanity. In the tiny Czech village of Terezin, the Nazis plan a propaganda coup to reshape the international opinion. In a master scheme to show a caring face of Nazism, Hitler has given the village to Jewish settlers as a place where they can live in freedom, reassuring a Red Cross delegation - and the world - of their peaceful intentions towards Jews. To provide a convincing "show," the Nazis have plucked the great French mime, Antoine Moreau (Tom Courtenay), from his waning career and ordered him to put on the greatest show of his life. The Reich spares no expense in providing the finest sets, orchestra and costumes. In return he will receive a generous fee and guaranteed return to Paris. But Antoine becomes driven with the need to tell the world the truth, regardless of personal risk. Although in mime he knows his lips must be sealed, now, as never before, his voice must be heard.Similar DVD Movies
