No larger aspect of what is in this film can be new to us; but seeing it in this old-friends perspective gives all of it, familiar and new, a novel effect.

What unfolds onscreen is remarkable: The passions and arguments of the past are resurrected in the present.

Reminds us that different people react to madness -- in this case, the Holocaust -- in different ways.

Spending time with these guys is an invigorating treat.

Even if these guys hadn't each gone through so much strife and real tragedy in their life, they're just interesting right now to see them going back and forth.

Less a document of wartime experience than of the mentality one needs to maintain in order to be a fighter, and the danger of attacking, however benignly, cherished beliefs.
