Lesia M Jan 6 This movie starts at the end of Auschwitz, with the liberation by the Russians. Getting home back to Italy as a Jew who was an educated chemist was difficult and long. The whole world seemed to be suffering from hunger. So landing in Russia was more suffering and people sent to camps to re live the oppressive role of slave laborer under Russian rule. To escape that independently and travel with men were bitter about everything that happened. The families that died in the gas chambers, wondering why they were chosen to survive by God. Atlas their faith in god was gone, if theirs an auschwitz, then no god. The main character finally finds his way home but it’s surreal. There is no going back to living a normal life after that. I was left with a feeling of overt sadness, the many valuable lives lost, especially that of children. Who knows if one could have been the next Einstein, Picasso or world leader of compassion instead of hatred. See more Lev R 06/19/2024 I haven't read Primo Levi's books in a long time, but what bothered and bored me about this film is that we never really got to know Levi as a person. He was always seen from the outside and came across as flat and uninteresting, which seems a bizarre way to tell his story.
