Transport aus dem Paradies

It's the starkness and the banality of Ghetto life contrasting with the intense human dramas that make this film memorable.

The brutality of the Nazis and their obsession with statistics and order is well shown.

This is one of those films that only black and white photography has the power to portray effectively.

This film of the Ghetto Jews' grim reality of processing and subjugation is not something you will ever forget, with the Jewish characters' all to brief time on screen and individual their stories intensifying your pity of their fates.

There is no better way to portray Nazi times then in black and white. This film can not be as good as Schindler's list, but it comes close. Brutality and savagery of Nazi regime is portrayed in this film extremely well. If you want to see masterpiece of the Czech cinematography after World War II, this is a film to see.

This a film to see anyways, politically as well as an example of the excellent film making in the early 1960*s what was then Czechoslovakia.

I especially liked how they succeeded to portray brutality and savagery of the Nazis, especially the visiting commander in the glasses.

All in all I strongly recommend that you obtain this film and watch it. You will be pleasantly surprised!
