Across europe in the build up and during the second world war, isn t there a bit where you get given a short audio clip of somebody turns out it s a dvd, not a cd, and its four hours long? a dvd of my dad. and if i hadn t had that, i don t think i d have been able to write this book because it told me so much detail about his experience in the state collective farm, his father s experience in the gulag. that was amazing. we didn t have very many records at home, by the way. we only had six. my father had no teenage years, so one of them was sooty and sweep i think that must have been mine. the other five, because he had no teenage years, he had very little music in the house in that way, which is odd, because he had loads and loads of books. tonnes and tonnes of books. he was a very cultured person. give us a potted sense, for people who are just coming across your book, about the extraordinary story that you are telling of the two sides of your family. absolutely so my mother wa ....
Only what it is now. the film is four and a half hours long. i mean, that is a lot in a way to ask of an audience. i didn t notice any complaints when i watched the film. but what do you hope people get out of investing that time and what you have greeted? in what you have greeted? this movie couldn t be an hour and a half, for obvious reasons. there was a weight to it, and i think that we needed to be manifested in length and journey. that you do go along with it. but, at the same time, you realise it is bigger than it s bigger than what you see. i found this film to be emotionally devastating, but in the most rich and rewarding way. this is my grandfather, werner friedrich brook, a germanjew in breslau. when hitler came to power, he was forced into retirement. he lost hisjob, his home, his status. a broken man, he went to the netherlands, as did many other germanjews. most of them perished, while my grandfather and his family found safe haven in britain. i cried the whole time ....
This is my grandfather, werner friedrich brook, a germanjew in breslau. when hitler came to power, he was forced into retirement. he lost hisjob, his home, his status. a broken man, he went to the netherlands, as did many other germanjews. most of them perished, while my grandfather and his family found safe haven in britain. i cried the whole time i watched 0ccupied city, thinking of the nightmare my family avoided. the film did what powerful art can do unlock emotions we don t know we have. there were a lot of tears. there we are so resilient, human beings, and whatever is in front of us, we keep on going. do we have a choice? not really. because we don t know what is around the corner. and i think that s that hopefully is the triumph of the film, that let s not forget, let s not forget. real world events have a habit of changing the way in which a film is experienced at the cannes film festival. it happened this year with the first ....
