One of the best Holocaust films ever
I gave this one a 10 because it is one of the most moving and engaging films about the Holocaust I have ever seen. The film is masterful in its depiction of the duplicitous nature of average citizens in Central Europe during the rise of Nazism. During World War II, the region was pulled between fascism and communism. This film is very revealing in its ability to show the true nature of totalitarianism and how it can effect the common person. The acting is brilliant, especially in the case of the old lady who is the owner of the shop. This is one of the best Czech films from the 60s, even better than Closely Watched Trains, which is also very good. This is the type of film that stays with you in that it is both haunting and thought provoking.
Ida Kaminska is top of the world on this film.
I have seen this movie at 2005 World Film’s festival in Thailand on last October. I have to admit that the title of this movie was out of my interest at first. Moreover, I hadn’t known anything about this movie so far.After having finished seeing Obchod na korze, I got by far more than I bargained for. The movie itself is really touching and moving, especially masterful in its plot of depicting grass-root citizens under the influence of Nazism control. Ida Kaminska is also fantastic and superb in portraying her role as Rozalie Lautmann. She was nominated Best Actress in leading role for Oscar that year, but failed to get Oscar’s nod. I quite wonder why, among other nominees. Most importantly, the last scene that Ida Kaminska holding an umbrella while her other hand holding Jozef Króner’s hand, walking down together on the street is totally excellent. It is one of the best ending scenes and one of best Holocaust films I have seen in my life.
Undoubtedly, I give it 10.
