The Grey Zone (2001)
7/10
A magnificent film about Auschwitz's Sonderkommandos, being splendidly played
27 May 2021
An eerie and downbeat film with a group of unfortunate characters, most of them members of a Sonderkommando : David Arquette, Daniel Benzali, Steven Buscemi, among others . Along with a Jew doctor : Allan Corduner and doctor Mengele himself . And a brutal Nazi sergeant : Harvey Keitel. Things go wrong when they discover and hide a 14-year-old girl and become involved themselves into the grey zone. The story you haven't seen!.

A terrific and extraordinary movie dealing with the inferno of the camps of death located in Auschwitz . Here we watch the astonishing work of the Sonderkommandos by executing the deadly and forced assignments. It contains a fabulous cast giving vigorous performances, outstanding Allan Cordunier as the Jew doctor who must decide a complex situation , Harvey Keitel as a ruthless Nazi and David Arquette whose fury outbursts at the gas chamber against a distressed condemned by means of a sudden explosion of grisly violence . And two female prisoners Natasha Lyonne and Mira Sorvino. The motion picture was competently directed by Tim Blake Nelson. He is a notorious secondary who has written, produced and directed a few films.
