Great examination of the effects of WW2 on

Great examination of the effects of WW2 on civilians. It is the late-1930s. A man, Johann, lives with his wife and children in a small village in Romania. Their care-free existence is shattered soon after Romania allies with Nazi Germany and German soldiers start arriving in the small town. The local police chief, who is keen on Johann's wife and thus wants Johann out of the way, has him sent to a work camp for Jews. This sets in motion a series of tragicomic, Kafkaesque events... Emotional, funny (in a an often dark sort of way), sad, infuriating and thought-provoking story. So many themes and targets: the farcical irrational thinking of Nazis, especially with regard to race, the brutality and heavy-handedness of the Russians - one tyrannical regime replaced by another - and the buffoonery of the Americans. In the middle we have a simple man who has no control over his destiny, yet ends up in some amazing, and weird, situations. All through this he remains positive, and naive. A great story.

Good movie, wouldn't call it happy or enjoyable

Good movie, wouldn't call it happy or enjoyable, but very few WWII movies are.

A victim of circumstance/exploitation in WW2 Romania leaves

A victim of circumstance/exploitation in WW2 Romania leaves Quinn on an epic journey to try and get home to his beautiful wife and kids. The shots of Budapest in the 60s alone made it worth seeing.
