Movie Reviews of The Truce
Movie Review: Tale of Redemption and the Spirit of Life
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a cinematic rendering of Primo Levi's diary of how he traveled back to Turin Italy after spending over one year in Auschwitz. Some parts of it are too sentimentalized and others don't truly show the conditions as they were just after the war.
The Auschwitz camp was way to neat and clean, and the flashback scenes were did not convey the brutality of the camps. That aside, the rest of the movie is well done and thought out. The cinematic ambiance was spot on and the dilemma that awaited the 'survivors' is well explained.
It is hard to make this type of movie because you can either cartoonize the 'bad guys' and over romanticize the good guys. Turturro does a great low key performance of Primo Levi (who was a very shy and reticent personality) that closely follows his book (the Truce or Reawakening) in story and feel. It's just difficult to watch some of the side characters especially the "Greek" and the "Clown". They don't always add to the story and their actions seem to have lost something in 'the translation'.
But, all in all a good film.
