One Life (2023)
Country: GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 110m
Director: James Hawes
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Johnny Flynn, Helena Bonham Carter, Lena Olin, Romola Garai, Alex Sharp
Synopsis:
A former stockbroker remembers his efforts to evacuate hundreds of Jewish children from Prague during the months leading up to Hitler's annexation in March 1939.
Review:
What once formed an item of Esther Rantzen's human interest show, That's Life, in the late 80s, leading to Nicholas Winton's knighthood, makes for highly effective feelgood material here. Past and present are unostentatiously intermingled, and on an individual level the film concerns itself with the haunting of Winton by the ghosts of those he could not save, to some extent exorcised by renewed contact with those he did.
