Reviews for Perlasca

Top CriticZingaretti 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
Perlasca epitomizes the kind of soft-core Holocaust porn that people point to as evidence of how survivor memory can be vulgarized and diminished through dramatization.
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.
04/15/05
More courageous than Spielberg in its depiction of Nazi brutality, Perlasca occasionally feels like the made-for-Italian-TV film that it is.
04/12/05
Confusing lack of historical set-up considerably dims the potential luster of a great true story.
