 Rating:  - Psycological Interesting.If you are looking for movies with explicit content abouth the WWII or the Holocaust this in not your movie. However it is quite and interesting story in wich you can see different point of views about this war and what was happening in the end. A nice movie to have in any collection. Whit a very interesting ending "monolog" from the main character... Rating: - On Par with Schindler's ListI would like to spend a few lines comparing Fateless to Schindler's List, but not until I describe Fateless first. Fateless is a movie based on Imre Kertesz best-selling novel "Fatelessness" about his own experiences during the Holocaust in Hungary.

Re-creation of the buildings of several camps was so real. Through the eyes of the cinematographer, enormous wide angle shots were used. Numerous shots of the massive operation were magnificent. One got a sense of an entire scope of ... Read More Rating: - The most painfully real of all Holocaust films.Lajos Koltai's "Fateless" deserves far more fame in the United States than it has achieved. "Schindler's List" and "The Pianist" have the reputations here, but "Fateless" goes far deeper than any fictional film I have ever seen in giving the audience the total, painful reality of what it must have been like to be a Holocaust victim. Gyurka (Marcell Nagy, a movingly natural young actor) is a 14-year-old Jewish boy in Budapest in 1944. One day, headed for work--his father has already been sent to a labor ... Read More
