Acclaimed
author Primo Levi's autobiographical novel (of the same name) adapts to the small
screen in a most touching manner. John Turturro (Barton Fink, Miller's Crossing)
plays Levi in a very restrained manner, chronicling his journey home to Italy
from Poland. From the concentration camp at Auschwitz to the frozen land of Russia
to the exotic land of Greece, director Francesco Rosi paints an extremely poignant
portrait of a man caught in the aftermath of the world's darkest hour.
