    This exceptional film features some of the most beautiful cinematography ever seen on film, in service of some of the most horrible images imaginable.

    The film never lacks dignity. Fateless doesn't look at life at the camp like Roberto Benigni did in "Life is Beautiful."

    Holocaust drama shot like costume drama, creating a sense of aesthetic disharmony.

    The cinematography was amazing. This movie moved me beyond words. Seeing atrocities being carried out in a concentration camp through the eyes of a young boy in his teens made me weep. Its an intense tale of survival through unimaginable situations.… Expand

    The cinematography is incredible. Just a really moving and haunting movie, one you truly won't forget. The ending was amazing; I won9;t give it away, but Nagy says something that totally changes your perception of what happened to him. Terrific acting by him. This movie should be a strong contender for best foreign film, if not best film.… Expand
