"When Hitler stole pink Rabbit"
This is a lovely movie! Beautifully filmed, excellent story and acting. It's 8/10 in anyone's money, but it's 9/10 in mine.
This German film (English subtitles) is the TRUE story of the early years of Judith Kerr OBE, and how she and her Jewish family escaped from Berlin & Germany 1933-1935.
One reviwer here has rather foolishly said that the story is set just before Hitler takes power. No, it isn't. The whole reason why the Jewish family is running is BECAUSE Hitler has just come to power. If he hadn't come to power, they wouldn't have to run. I guess some people just don't pay attention... Another reviewer complains that the dialogue is: "not what you would hear in the 1930s", and gives the film a low rating. Nonsense! How does that reviewer know how people spoke in 1933? Do they have a time machine? Put bluntly, anyone giving "When Hitler stole Pink Rabbit" less than 7 must have been watching a different one to the charming film I saw.
The costumes, vehicles and interiors all all pure 1930s. Young Riva Krymalowski as Anna Kemper, and Marinus Hohmann as Max Kemper are first class.
This is a moving and excellent film. Don't miss it just because other reviewers have said silly things about it.
