    Giving the young generations a glimpse of life with the German forces. Less in violence but never in dread. --bré, Philippines.

    If you're too close to the holocaust, by all means, avoid the comedy of Sara Silverman and irreverent tragi-comedies like "Life is Beautiful", and this curious offering from the Czech Republic. In "Schindler's List", Spielberg allows Fiennes' Nazi to be vulnerable without losing sight of the Aryan's despicable disregard for human life. "Divided We Fall", however, has the audacity to have as its most pitiable character, a Nazi, who might have you humming an old Sting song in which the former Police frontman sings "...the [Nazis] love their children too." It's easier to feel sorry for this German because although we hear his rhetoric, we never see him commit a violent act. But despite these reservations, it's hard for me to deny that the action which follows the Czech city's liberation, does indeed find the right tone to get away with murder.… Expand

    This movie encrypts Czech power and faith at there own time of need. This movie really shows how much liarary power and kindness this kind of brillant movie has stored in itself.

    Profound, powerful Czech import takes a tragicomic approach to the Holocaust, though unlike Benigni's film, the movie does not sentimentalize those caught up in the Nazi dragnet.

    Demonstrates that even if you live in a country intimately familiar with fascist occupation, you might still not have the least clue how to communicate that experience on film.

    The tonal elegance of this black comedy set in a dark time -- is boldly dependent on performances that tug at taut lines of moral complexity.
