Dara iz Jasenovca

This is a reminder that evil is perpetrated by both those that commit evil acts and those that do nothing.

Every word is superfluous. I can watch over and over...

I am struck by the truth, and this film is a truth about crimes that must not be repeated!!

In the name of remembering my grandmother who was a detainee in Jasenovac and who managed to escape. Her sister did not have that luck with 12 of her children who were all slaughtered in that horrible camp. My grandmother never talked about that time because she did not want us to hate Croatian people.

While the film has excellent shots, with the lighting and camera working to achieve full immersion, the spectacle tends to drown the story in gory details. For a domestic audience, this is a common theme and it can be considered passe, but it is a historic drama and should be viewed as such, especially as it shows the parts of the Holocaust that are not as familiar to foreign viewers.

Overall, this is definitely a movie that lovers of historic pieces shouldn't miss, as it tells a story that should be told. One might dismiss the story for the corniness and often misguided focus, but the events are based on facts and the general impact is quite emotional.
