Quando Hitler rubò il coniglio rosa

Completely based on true events, this movie shows how a jewish family was able to just barely escape germany, thereby preventing being locked up in a concentration camp and facing a certain death.

What makes this movie very relevant is that it shows the way the jewish family was received by people in the places and countries they fled to. To think that it was only the nazi germans that discriminated and blamed the jewish people during the 1930's, is shown to be a wrong assumption.

It is very interesting to see this story being told by what the youngest daughter of the family experieced. I think the title is a good example of what decisions this girl had to take and how she personally saw those decisions: e.g. "why can't I take my favorite pluche rabbit?".

Considering that it is not easy to produce a movie that has as a small child in the main role, I think the result is excellent. The cinematography, vehicles, clothing and sets were all of such high quality that you really deem yourself in the 1930's.

Concluding, I think this movie deserves a score of 8.1/10, thereby easily making an 8-star IMDb rating. If you decide to watch this movie, I also recommend that you search the internet on what happened with the family after the war ended: I guarantee that you will surprised and/or impressed by all the achievements.

Excellently played by Riva Krymalowski (Anna) and beautifully shot. The story is moving and told in a straightforward manner, mostly from Anna's perspective (otherwise there could have been more room for the development of the main characters).

Als Hitler das rosa Kaninchen stahl is a beautiful film. The performances are absolutely great all around, and Riva Krymalowski is an outstanding lead. The movie is full of admirable dialogue, and the direction as well as the cinematography are elegantly done too. Also, thanks to the very good editing the film moves along at a seemingly perfect pace. This is an important story and it works well as a movie suitable for both children and adults. As an adult you'll definitely get more out of it overall, but I think it's something children should see and will get much of value out of. Sadly I missed the first ten to fifteen minutes of it because my mum insisted on having nachos despite the long queue. I'll catch up on what happened in those early minutes of the film once it comes out. Please try to see this one, whoever's reading. I can't imagine that movie not captivating you, yes you, as well. Every single thing works on a wholly believable emotional level. It's a film that hits hard and lets you feel how painful having to face the ugliness of humanity at such an early age must be. It's some kind of adventure family movie with a bit of comedy in one way, but mainly a hard-hitting drama you won't forget any time soon.

Watch it only if you have nothing other to do.

It is slow paced but a beautiful movie set before Hitler took the power in Nazi Germany.

A true story about a Jewish family who escaped from their origin home. Nice places are shown here.

The children and the main actors made a very good job. Perhaps too long. 6/10.

The movie shows, from the perspective of a child, the story of a jewish family fleeing in Europe looking for opportunity after escaping from Hitler.

The scenery is nicely made, nice shots in the alps, nice rooms. The script is well written, but they could have worked better on small details, such as dialogue/foreshadowing. They expect that the viewer might not catch everything that is going on, so they try to explain it with dialogue, which feels artificial sometimes. As an example, the girl cares throughout the whole movie about the lost rabbit, though she's never seen playing with such toys: they had to explain over and over the movie's title.

They cared too much into making the "good" characters look pretty and the "evil" characters look bad. In one scene in which the girl's mother complain about having a bad hair while her hair was clearly made to look pretty (she looks/is 20 years younger than her husband). Meanwhile the characters which are not friends of the family are always portrayed with strange looks.

The humor is good, though you might need to speak some German to fully understand it.

It's a good movie, though some small details could have been made with more thought. 8/10
