Wouterius V @TonyvV Mar 8 Loved this movie. It captures the desperation of pre-war Europe, that most cannot imagine. Many criticize it for inplausibilty, but this is intentional. It is more like a nightmare with characters moving through dark scenes they have no control over. Ricci, a Jewish girl, is the common thread. Early in the movie poverty and racism separate her from her father in a heart-tugging scene. Later the pograms in Russia separate her from her remaining family. Ricci moves through a landscape that is sad and dangerous with a secret that she is Jewish. This creates tension but also hope for a happy outcome. In Paris Ricci rooms with Blanchett, who is over the top flirtatious but with an agenda of finding a man to rescue her from her dark prospects. All performances are stellar, the music is beautiful, and the filmography captivating. I think those looking for realism should watch a documentary, but if you want a movie that will make you feel, The Man Who Cried fills that bill.

CNt stream it anywhere now. Couple of years I've been looking. Finally ordered the dvd. One of the best love stories I had seen since Warren Beatty and Natalie Wood, splendor in the grass.
