No holocaust film can match the sheer artistry of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 instant classic, “Schindler’s List,” in my opinion. “One Life,” however, starring Anthony Hopkins, comes close. While equaling “Schindler” in terms of a potent story, it can’t match Spielberg’s painterly eye, virtuoso use of black-and-white, and mastery of the entire storytelling toolbox, from high comedy to deepest tragedy. But make no mistake—the story of Nicholas Winton stands on its own.
‘One Life’: Not ‘Schindler’s List,’ But Mighty Close
“One Life” tells the story of how one British man saved 669 Jewish children from Prague to London before the Nazi could exterminate them. Very powerful.
