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.

Reviews for Perlasca
1 - 7 (sorted by fresh rating; Australian critics are listed first)
Negrin's film is a well-deserved tribute to a principled man who dared to act when principles no longer counted for anything.

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

A well-made and heart-rending Italian Schindler's List.
04/15/05
Giorgio Perlasca, who has been compared to Oskar Schindler, deserves better than this Italian television film.

Top CriticPerlasca 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
Confusing lack of historical set-up considerably dims the potential luster of a great true story.
