Country: US/GB
Technical: DeLuxe 94m
Director: Mark Herman
Cast: Vera Farmiga, David Thewlis, Rupert Friend, David Hayman
Synopsis:
During the war a German boy accompanies his family to a new life next to a concentration camp for Jews, ignorant of all that that means. Bored with being confined to the house, he befriends a Jewish boy on the other side of the wire with catastrophic results.
Review:
Quite effective filming of a successful novel of transferred guilt, at its most persuasive cinematically where it departs from its source, but dignified by some unstrident performances from the cast.
