Reviews for Perlasca
1 - 7 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
Zingaretti does a fine job shading a character that is written as an unalloyed saint. But the most touching moments come at the end, when we see documentary footage of his true-life inspiration.
04/15/05
Negrin's film is a well-deserved tribute to a principled man who dared to act when principles no longer counted for anything.

A well-made and heart-rending Italian Schindler's List.
04/15/05
Confusing lack of historical set-up considerably dims the potential luster of a great true story.

Top CriticGiorgio Perlasca, who has been compared to Oskar Schindler, deserves better than this Italian television film.

Top CriticMore courageous than Spielberg in its depiction of Nazi brutality, Perlasca occasionally feels like the made-for-Italian-TV film that it is.
