Le souvenir de toi

Maybe this movie is not a masterpiece but it is painfully emotional. It is not romantic, i dont think so. I did not even think that the main characters loved each other. It is just responsibility to another person on the Polish man's part under very hard conditions. I read that the director died a very sad death at a very young age after directing this film. I dont wanna search over google because this move was already full of melodrama , i dont wanna put myself under further pain. I think everybody shall watch this movie. It is about human condition, history and life. The German name is The Lost Time not Remembrance and it reminds us the responsibility to live a responsible life.

I really enjoyed this movie. Well acted by all, with an exceptional performance by Susanne Lothar as Stefania: Her face can convey an entire page of dialogue without a word. The cinematography was wonderful as well, darkness playing a large part of dark subject matter. Stories like this one tend to get lost over time while the major battles and often-told hero accounts stay in the public's mind. I'm sure this isn't the only concentration camp love story to be told, but it gives the observer a view they may never have imagined. Much time and thought...and possibly discussion...will be given to the ending, I promise you that. See it; you won't be disappointed.

Not sure how this movie got developed, but half of it is absolutely spectacular in story, locations, performances, the whole deal. That's the part of the story that deals with the past. The storyline here is well cast, beautifully acted, really nicely developed in every single area. It is an 8-9 star movie here.

However, and it's a BIG However, the modern-day segments of the story leave ever so much to be desired. The relationships between the characters are poorly developed, the acting is stilted, wooden. Actors throwing lines at one another like darts. The set is OK, but just OK. The storyline in the modern segments does not flow, doesn't even make sense sometimes. Like when the main character's daughter asks her a question and is given an absent-minded answer, to which she replies: "I don't believe it! You're lying to me!" There was no lying involved. There was barely an answer at all. Also, one of the main, most salient lines of the modern-day protagonist, which is repeated twice is really-really badly delivered. This robs it of all its depth and meaning.

All in all, I'm glad to have seen this movie for the good parts. And, because the good parts were so very good, I can only mourn how wonderful the whole movie could have been, had it been given the same treatment throughout. Were there two directors maybe???

This movie reminded me a modern day Doctor Zhivago. I loved everything about the movie, I loved how the past and the present appear right next to each other. Not sure what the previous reviewer meant about the historical accuracy issues...or why he had mention Auschwitz in his review. Mr. or Mrs Shwartz, there were hundreds of concentration camps during WW2, there was no mention of Auschwitz camp during the movie. It could have been any camp. What did you mean with the high school students? Were you trying to hurt feeling of the people like myself who actually enjoyed the movie? What movie would you recommend instead? Did you really see the movie? I was a little afraid the movie was going to be little corny but I didn't have to. The directing, acting the paste were executed beautifully.

I stumbled across this gem of a film on Netflix, and it had four out of five stars, so I figured I would give it a shot. I am so glad I took the time to watch it. The storyline is nothing short of amazing, and after viewing the movie, I did some research, and found that it is based on a true story. Visually stunning, with a beautiful score to match, Remembrance kept me hypnotized for two hours solid. Considering I am a bit of a critic when it comes to love stories, I was shocked by how powerfully moving this one was. It broke my heart in two. I won't go into details about the plot, because frankly, I think this is one of those works of art that should be experienced and not described. I will just say, watch it for yourself. It is well worth the time.
