Kristin Scott Thomas is an investigative reporter who moves in to a Paris apartment with a history rooted in the holocaust. Done in a flashback style, switching between the experience of Sarah’s family – hiding thier little son before being whisked away by French police in a sweep of Jewish people, and the modern times where Kristin is investigating the story. The tale is intriguing, with twists, turns and complex facets – but most of all, just an interesting life story with dramatic results. Great stuff.
Kristin Scott Thomas and the entire cast are very good. Drama without overacting, and genuine emotion.
A great story makes the film, but the film was definitely made better with the acting, and the intertwining of old and new.
Based on a true story.
