Rating: - Genghis Cohn
The minute that KNME, a PBS station, in Albuquerque, New Mexico aired this movie back in 1995, I knew I had to have it. I ordered my copy right then and there for $9.99 plus shipping. I have been following this and other cherished movies for when they are released on DVD. I found the movie absolutely excellent, apart from a few minor technical flaws such as the 2nd SS officer apparently firing his Schmeiser MP40 up in the air; a fight sequence between some Brown-Shirt (S.A.) thugs and Cohn also not being very believable. and the fact that this same ex-Nazi SS man's toddler son could see the ghost of Genghis Cohn, but previously it was said only the "haunted" SS members being pursued by Genghis Cohn could see him. Especially wonderful was the opening sequence with Genghis Cohn doing a skit as a ventriloquist and using Adolf Hitler as the dummy! This only takes away a shtikel of enjoyment from the movie (although I have to admit, I would have LOVED to see a bit more bare skin on Diana Rigg, who has reached ZAFTIG PERFECTION in this movie!- "a thing of beauty is a joy forever" and she was a bit deficient in the tushie department in the younger years!) Overall, the movie is a real joy. I only wish it lasted LONGER that its all-too-short
82 minutes (forget what they tell you about 100 minutes! Feh!)
Rating: - A Hauntingly Humorous Tale
This is not your typical Holocaust film, not even in the post-life is beautiful-days. The plot, which is highly unusual, focuses on an ex-Nazi police comissioner who's being haunted by a Jewish comedian he executed during the war. The policeman is trying to solve a series of sex crimes occuring, while those around him think he's going mad. Undeniably funny, heart-wrenching and thought provoking, this movie deserves to be shaken out of the dusty corners of obscurity and proudly shelved next to Shindler's List, Sophie's Choice and Life is Beautiful.
Rating: - If You Like Dark Comedy...
The first scene of this movie tells you right away that this is no "docu-drama" about the Holocaust. If you enjoy dark or bleak humor, this is the film for you. Robert Lindsay and Anthony Sher are brilliant (what else would you expect?), and the plot is a nice change from the usual subject matter. I greatly enjoyed it.
Rating: - Not your Schindler's List kind of picture.
This film makes its point with humor, which may seem bizarre when the topic is the Holocaust, but this picaresque tale of a former concentration camp commandant who is haunted by the ghost of a Jewish comedian is deftly scripted and directed, putting no foot wrong at any point. Add performances by Robert Lindsay and Antony Sher, neither of whom know any other way to act but brilliantly, and this becomes a very palatable moral tale. Throw in a supporting role by Diana Rigg, and surely by now you're asking yourself why you haven't seen this film before. See it now. It's like no other 80 minutes of film on this particular subject, I promise you.
