"Overlong non-factual biopic"

“Based on a true story” covers a lot of ground in this love story that focuses on a Jewish woman and Polish man who escape from Auschwitz but are separated, each believing the other is dead. Eventually the woman discovers the man is alive and they are reunited at the end. This much is true, but a check on wikipedia reveals that much else shown the film is totally untrue, and the denouement is awkwardly ambiguous: Their reconciliation did not mean coming together, though they saw each other half a dozen times. In the film she has got off the bus and looks across the road at him. Finis. Cool.

Divorcing the reality from the film, to view it as a film only, it is too long, and uses a foolish histrionic premise as the woman, living in New York, makes the life of her family a misery while she secretly finds and eventually contacts her former lover and saviour. There was something terribly false about this and it spoiled the film for me. Nonetheless there were some fine moments and the acting of the wartime scenes was of a high standard.

Description

Remembrance is a drama movie set during world war 2 presented on DVD.

Die Verlorene Zeit (Remembrance) depicts a remarkable love story that blossomed amidst the terror of a German concentration camp in 1944 Poland. This impossible passion fuels the courage of a Polish prisoner who manages to rescue his Jewish girlfriend. Against all odds, they escape the camp and survive a treacherous journey to freedom. But during the chaos of the end of the war, they are forcibly separated and each is convinced that the other has died. More than thirty years later in New York, the happily married 52-year-old woman accidentally finds out that her former Polish lover is still alive. And she has to see him again.
