Film Synopsis

A man named Martin Gray tells his story...  It begins in Warsaw, in 1939.  Like many other Jewish families, the Grayewskis will be caught up in the horrific ordeal of the Nazis' entrance into Poland.  Having taken control of the city, the Germans drive the entire Jewish population into a ghetto that will become infamous.  The Jews are later cleared from the ghetto and most are sent to the concentration camp at Treblinka.  Martin is himself sent there, and his mother and two younger brothers end up being killed.  Martin manages to escape from Treblinka and finds his father in Warsaw, where the remaining Jews have built up an army against the Germans.  But in the insurrection that ensues Martin's father is one of many who will be killed...

The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
The very best of German cinema
sb-img-25
German cinema was at its most inspired in the 1920s, strongly influenced by the expressionist movement, but it enjoyed a renaissance in the 1970s.
The best of Indian cinema
sb-img-22
Forget Bollywood, the best of India's cinema is to be found elsewhere, most notably in the extraordinary work of Satyajit Ray.
