19 of 19 · most liked firstThere’s a movie called The Grey Zone that is based on this history. It’s a very dark film but definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. It has a good cast.
positive · AI labelView post →Really great week and The Grey Zone, while a tough watch, is an amazing and important film that needs to be better known. #LetterboxdFriday boxd.it/8eLZ7
positive · AI labelView post →If you have a subscription to the Criterion Channel, I would recommend going to the Tim Blake Nelson hub that was added this month. Among the content is a film he directed called The Grey Zone. I haven’t forgotten it sine I saw it. Absolutely powerful! It will stay with you. #TCMParty
positive · AI labelView post →I watched the movie “The Grey Zone” this morning. A sad and disturbing movie. And I thought about this. If we lived in Nazi Germany now, Trump supporters would be the first to run to the Nazi cause. They would be the ones harassing Jews in the streets and cheering people being shot in the 1/2

neutral · AI labelView post →Highly recommend this YouTube vid abt "The Grey Zone" (2001, dir Tim Blake Nelson), a film that tells the story of the Jewish Sonderkommando in Oct 1944 The film & title come from a chapter in the book, "The Drowned and the Saved" by holocaust survivor Primo Levi youtu.be/q86QWx7uACI?...
neutral · AI labelView post →The Grey Zone should be part of any conversation about Holocaust films, and especially ones set inside concentration camps. It’s directed by Tim Blake Nelson and follows Jews who worked the crematoria at Auschwitz. Credit to @ladyknightthebrave.bsky.social for her excellent analysis of the film.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm reminded of a @ladyknightthebrave.bsky.social video where she and a Holocaust film expert talked about various Holocaust movies and they lavished particular praise on The Grey Zone while being critical of Schindler's List. It could be worse though, could be Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

No, something much more scary Professor Kirsty Ball used this slide to tell us about the frequent incursions in European territories by the Russian military #FestivalofEurope #Edinburgh today. The threat is real. @FestivalofEurope

An Italian friend invited me to a one-man play in Kennington, ‘The Grey Zone’, in which a Sicilian actor played Primo Levi; then I read some Levi, then discovered the film, which takes its title from one of his Auschwitz stories. The film’s hard to find in the UK, mind you.
