    yıllar oldu izleyeli, hala tüylerim diken diken

    Savaşın getirdiği yıkım ve acı dolu sahneler beni her zaman duygusal olarak biraz hırpalar, bu yüzden izlerken epey iç karartıcı bulmuştum. Yine de Adrien Brody'nin o sakin ama derin oyunculuğu ve harabelerin ortasında bile müziğe tutunuşu çok etkileyiciydi. Wojciech Kilar'ın dokunduğu sahnelerdeki zarafet unutulur gibi değil. Gereksiz gürültüden uzak, hüznünü son derece ölçülü ve ağırbaşlı aktaran çok kıymetli bir yapım.
