Really best comedy I've seen in a long time and thing I like about Americans is they can laugh very hard at themselves.
Yes Americans are probably produce best comedy about America itself as in this movie,moreso than most countries can't even think of laughing at themselves.
But - how did FRENCH people think of this movie?
I can only hope they saw the back-hand compliments toward France and GIRARD from "Formula Eeeew" was hilarious.
So any Frenchies see this movie and what did you think?
I am really curious to know.

I've never really liked holocaust flicks because they get well, usually made so that the dumbest of the dumb to 'get it.' Kapo is just a movie that shows, not tells, which of course makes the best story. Thanks to TCM for playing this gem that I'll buy on DVD as soon as it comes out. I'd never even heard of it, and I have seen a LOT of flicks.
Susan Strasburg does an incredible job as Nicollete / Edith. Her transformation from shell-shocked victim to cynical survivor is absolutely gripping. The tension in the movie builds to nearly unbearable level and the end simply leaves you scooping your jaw off the floor.
This is the type of movie I sorely needed after going on a loooong dry spell of celluloid garbage. Why this movie isn't famous, I have no idea, but it should be.
