Aro Recommended Nina's Journey

 

Poland / Sweden 2006, 119 minutes
Dir. Lena Einhorn
In German, Polish, Swedish
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama

Topics: Period 1940s.

 

Aroview: Based on the captivating real-life story of writer-director Einhorn's mother, this restrained yet profoundly moving docudrama recaptures her journey from the atrocities of Nazi-occupied Warsaw – made all the more vivid by interweaved archival footage - to her new life as a highly-renowned physicist in Sweden.

Considering the traumatic subject matter has been relived countless times in other films, this still packs a hefty emotional punch – chiefly through an oft-employed audio interview with the film's main subject. Won best film and best screenplay at Sweden's version of the Oscars.
