Watch: Kapò 1960 123movies, Full Movie Online – Kapo is a black-and-white film that tells the story of a Jewish teenager sent to a concentration camp with her parents. She manages to survive with help from a Jewish doctor who gives her the identity of another woman who had died recently. Thus, Edith becomes Nicole and she is no longer a Jew, at least not in the papers. At first she is very sad about her parents’ deaths, but as time passes she realizes she must get out of that mood if she wants to survive. So at 14 she submits to a German officer’s advances and is rewarded with privileges; in time she becomes a Kapo, one of the women prisoners who were in charge of disciplining the other women. Though she knows it’s the only way to survive, she hides deep remorse behind an expressionless face..
Plot: Determined to survive at any price, Edith, a young Jewish woman deported to an extermination camp, manages to survive by accepting the role of kapo, a privileged prisoner whose mission is to ruthlessly guard other prisoners.

Haunting
Kapo is a word for Nazi concentration camp inmates who were deputized to keep an eye on their fellow prisoners and report back to the officers. In exchange, they received special treatment and favors.In this 1960 Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, Susan Strasberg gives a fierce performance as a Kapo in one such camp. We watch her evolve from terrified young girl into ruthless authority figure out of a desperate sense of survival. We then see her undergo a crisis of conscience as the inmates plan an escape. Does she help them or report them?
In the story of this one young woman is a broader examination of what drove millions of Germans to either support the Nazis or turn a blind eye to their atrocities. It’s a cautionary tale about how far the extinct for survival will push one human being to disregard the life of another. Gillo Pontecorvo, who would direct one of the best films of the 1960s a few years later (“The Battle of Algiers”), allows a bit more sentiment and melodrama to drive this story than he does that later picture, but it’s still a bracing and haunting film.
For the record, this is the first time I saw Emanuelle Riva as a much younger actress (or at least the first time when I knew who she was), and she’s stunning.
