Another film from SF Jewish Film Festival


th_wc_protektor.jpgPROTEKTOR


Protektor is the name of this film and it is from the Czech Republic. The director is Marek Najbrt. This one was also related to World War 2 and Jews going to Concentration Camps. But this one was very artistic and visually captivating. It takes place in "German occupied Prague."
It is centered on a Jewish actress named Hana and her husband, Emil. He has to take all these jobs that are for Nazi propaganda to hide the fact that he is married to a Jew.

This film is about Love, Cinema, Compromise, and anything else relating to those. It also has a lot of artistic aspects that represent ideas. There is a constant image of different characters riding on a bike in front of a green screen like thing, which is like they are always running away from something.

Basically it was a very original and amazing film that is about Jews during World War 2 but it does not hit you too hard until the very end, which is intense. So look it up and watch it because it is also foreign which just makes it better than most American films showing in theaters today! serously.
