Rating: 3.5/4 --
A film of such raw power that it still feels genuinely radical, a hallucinatory, aesthetically visionary work.

From the Front Row
Nemec's fascinating debut feature has a hallucinatory, dreamlike quality....What is most startling about Nemec's approach is its subjectivity and intimacy...
Sight and Sound
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Not just specifically about the Second World War, Nemec's film still has resonance today as a broader allegory for the politics of power and the often belligerent attitude of the old towards the young.

Rating: 3/4 --
This manages to combine the striking realism of a documentary with the surrealistic touches of an experimental piece.

Film Frenzy
Rating: 3.5/4 --
largely eschews a traditional cinematic approach to the subject and instead dramatizes the action through a fractured subjectivity that renders the entire experience dreamlike and fleeting

One loses interest. It looks unreal.

New York Times
The technique is the jaggedly familiar one of cuts to fantasy and memories; the result painful but pitiful, with something new to say about the inhumanity, not of official fiends, but of everyday old men out on a spree.

Product Description:
Director Nemec's debut feature film renders the harrowing tale of two boys' escape from a train bound for a Nazi concentration camp. Five years in the making, the film transcends the theme of war and anti-Nazism to deal with man's struggle to preserve human dignity. Also includes his short "A Bite to Eat," which concerns one man's attempt to steal a loaf of bread from a Nazi-guarded train. The film was Nemec's diploma film at the Prague Film Academy.
