Spanish drama concerning Warsaw Ghetto with nice filmmaking , awesome performance and tragic evens
28 January 2022
Intense drama with musical elements , this is a thought-provoking film about Warsaw Ghetto including cruel deeds and exciting images . This is an emotionally tale and very decent drama about a team of actors perform in the heart of the Warsaw Ghetto in a life or death context and six months before the deportations to the extermination camps . Depicting the terrifying existence in the horrible ghetto including suffering , theatrical happenings , starvation and other grisly events until a surprising ending .

It is an impressive drama, though overtalking , set on a run-down stage with musical numbers , dances s, ongs and brief hilarious touches while occurs the theatrical staging . The film is elegant , well-paced and brilliantly made but it's marred by being really clautrophobic and stagy . The first point that impresses the viewer is certainly the blending of drama , comedy , romance , as well as terror , cruelty and sadism from the despicable , sadistic Nazis . As Magnus Krepper has the role of the nasty Sergeant Szkop and deserved a nomination to the Academy Award. The screenplay does not shows the deep reality of the lives of the dwellers of this ghetto , if she depicts the deep tension , threats and their fight to survive in times of war , including the beginning of their resistance. However, it does not show the final destruction of the ghetto after a failed uprising on 01 September 1943 organized by the first Jewish partisan unit in Nazi-occupied Europe the "Fareinigte Partizaner Organizacje" , the United Partisan Organization . The beauty of Clara Rugaard and the dramatic and conflictive position of stage players are brilliantly performed , they 're stunning and amazing. This is a portentous drama about Jews suffering Poland holocaust . It bears a certain resemblance to ¨Ghetto¨ (2005) by Audrius Juzenas that recounts the last days of the Vilna Ghetto Theatre company , while ¨Love Gets a Room¨ (2021) is based on excerpts , originally written in Polish, translated into English , of Jerzy Jurandot's play Milosc szuka mieszkania, which premiered at the Femina Theatre in the Warsaw ghetto (1941) . Very good performances from main and support cast cast with special mention for starring Clara Rugaard , accompanied by nice actors as Mark Ryder , Ferdia Walsh-Peelo , Valentina Bellè , Jack Roth , Freya Parks , Anastasia Hille. F

The music score by composer Victor Reyes gives a touch of class and mirth . Evocative, though dark cinematography by Rafael García with excessive ,camera shots , movements , but providing enjoyable mise en scene. The motion picture was well directed by Rodrigo Cortés delivering brilliant tracking shots, , though it relies heavily on the stage acting , song and musical numbers .Filmmaker Rodrigo Cortés correctly directs a spellbinding portrait about the holocaust based on true facts. This Spanish filmmaker has directed notorious international successes as ¨Red Lights¨, ¨Dawn in dark hill¨ , ¨Blackwood¨and his biggest hit : ¨Buried¨ and another success was ¨The Contestant¨ or El Concursante that won Maestre Mateo Award to support cast , best director and editing and Malaga Film Festival, best director , best cinematography , and Rodrigo Cortés has got several Goyas and nominations. Love Gets a Room (2021) rating : 6.5/10 . Acceptable and passable .
