| Based on a true story, SCHINDLER'S LIST is Steven Spielberg's epic drama of World War II Holocaust survivors and the man who unexpectedly came to be their savior. Unrepentant womanizer and war profiteer Oskar Schindler uses Polish Jews as cheap labor to produce cookware for the Third Reich. But after witnessing the violent liquidation of the walled ghetto where the Krakow Jews have been forced to live, Schindler slowly begins to realize the immense evil of Nazism. When his employees are sent to a work camp, they come under the terrorizing reign of sadistic Nazi Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes). With the help of his accountant, Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley), Schindler creates a list of "essential" Jews. Bribing Goeth, Schindler manages to get 1,100 people released from the camp and brought to the safety of his munitions factory in Czechoslovakia. Spielberg's glorious film is wondrously evocative, visually stunning, and emotionally stirring. |

| : |
(02/11/1994, p.39, Owen Gleiberman): "...Existential vividness unprecedented in any nondocumentary film..." -- Rating: A, (03/01/1994, p.47-8, Philip Strick): "...A near-documentary, brilliantly designed and choreographed....A privilege to watch...", (09/01/1994, p.112, Tom Russo): "...Brutal and intelligent..." - Recommended, (12/17/1993, p.44-6, Owen Gleiberman): "...Staggeringly intense....Spielberg has done something that can't quite be said of any other film about the Holocaust. He has allowed us -- for the first time -- to see it..." |
