Sinekatalog’s take
Francesco Rosi's adaptation of Primo Levi follows his long, strange journey home across Eastern Europe after Auschwitz. John Turturro is moving in a humane, episodic, quietly profound film of survival and rediscovery.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
