“To live or not to live” is scheduled to be screened next Thursday by Filmhouse / New Cinema Club of Kalamata.
During the German invasion of Poland, a group of actors use their disguise and acting skills to stop a traitor who plans to give the enemy the names of resistance fighters.
A classic Hollywood masterpiece and a great anti-war satire set in the middle of World War II thanks to the courage and inexhaustible talent of Ernst Lubitsch. The balances are striking, the director bringing an unseen narrative fluidity to the film’s style, which begins as a witty comedy, turns into a tense thriller, and ends as a dark comedy that satirizes the absurdity of war. All this without missing the clever sarcasm about the actors’ counter-problems and their dreamy temperament.
In 1996, the film was selected by the US Library of Congress as a film of cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance. In 2000, the American Film Institute included the film as one of the 50 greatest comedies of all time.
