Yes.



There have been many movies about the Holocaust, and its sheer horror and brutality, but none come close to this as almost a first person perspective. I've never seen a movie shot in this way before, but it was terrifying in its inhumanity.



Hollywood dreck merchants could learn a thing or two from the director, a Hungarian.

Hard to tell from just the trailer.

If you watch the trailer again, you will see that a lot of the cinematography uses close range camera angles. Much of the movie features head and shoulders shots of the main actor, giving the viewer a much more intimate and personalised perspective of his experience as a "Sommerkommando", a prisoner that is used to perform the labour behind the mass executions, such as escorting the new arrivals into the chambers, putting their corpses into the ovens, and salvaging their possessions from the clothing and suitcases they arrived with.



Much of the actual action is out of focus because the camera uses a shallow depth of field. So you KNOW what's happening, but can only witness it through the perspective of the main character.



Its a unique and engaging perspective.

lol Renee, great post as usual.

Not only is the inhumanity personalised for the viewer, the actual victims of the slaughter are trivialised; they are referred to as "pieces". You never actually see the corpses as they rendered as just a backdrop to the main story, which is of course using irony to demonstrate the impact of mindless cruelty on an industrial scale.



You will probably hate the Nazis even more after seeing this movie.

Is there a reason for the cartoon elephant?

It is not an elephant.



It is an ekekeophant.
