Movie Haiku:Holocaust drama that’s visually superb but drained of emotion. The “hero” suffers every indignity, then returns to Polish society seemingly unchanged after liberation. Poles are “good” & only Nazis are “bad,” but wait, by the end there’s a good Nazi too. Most of SCHINDLER’s incidents but none of its resonance.
