A profound meditation on the unevenness of history, reminding us -- as Faulkner once remarked -- that the past not only isn't dead, it isn't really past at all.

Fascinating.
L.A. Weekly
Rating: 4/5 --
Italian documentary filmmaker Davide Ferrario, who specializes in what he calls "on the road" documentaries, decided to retrace Primo Levi's steps in modern Europe. It was a wise choice.

Vividly impressionistic and delightfully curious.

Rating: 3/4 --
If one artist is deserving of a documentary account of his story, it's Italian author Primo Levi.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Travelogue is exquisitely shot and the dark poetry of Levi's words, read at intervals throughout the film, is brought to haunting life by a suitably weary-sounding Chris Cooper.
TV Guide
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The film lacks a certain coherence, and Levi -- one of Italy's most important postwar writers -- is mostly relegated to an excuse for a sociopolitical travelogue.
