Saul and Ruby will be discussing the film with the director in an on line webinar from Temple Emanu-El in NYC on January 27. Screening the film beforehand was made available to people registered for the webinar.
Much of the film is not about the Holocaust but about surviving day to day as very old men with very old wives, who they greatly love, who past away during this filming. The director has some real skill and some of the moving pictures we see of their relationships are what they should be -- moving.
The last third of the film is their trip to Warsaw where they haven't been in over 70 years. That's nicely filmed and where we hear them playing music the most and where they relate what happened to them and their families.
It is worth taking the time to see.
