A haunting piece for film buffs only

This film does not play well with today's mainstream audience.

I ordered a VHS tape of this rare film due mostly to the high ranking by a handful of voters. Of those I know who watched Katerina, I was the ONLY one who was not completely dissatisfied.

I have had the opportunity to see Austewicz and could appreciate the nature of the growing threat the Jews faced in this story.

The descriptions I have read of this movie don't really convey the tone accurately. Today's mainstream viewer will not appreciate the artistic stylings, the slow pace, the long monologues, or reading imperfect subtitles. On the other hand if you can read Anton Chekov, you'll be able to sit through this one.

Again, it is no Schindler's List, or Fateless. BUT, If you're a film history buff not looking to be entertained or uplifted, it is worth a look.
