A really profound and captivating movie, although I found it mentally hard to watch it. this movie broke my heart in a million little pieces but is beautifully produced.
Très bon film. Incroyable performance des acteurs. Histoire d’un rescapé des camps de concentration qui part s’installer aux us vivre l’américan dream, sa femme étant restée derrière lui en Europe. Il y a des scènes un peu longues mais le film est très prenant. Vu au cinéma de la com avec parrain, on a bien kiffé.
