Review of The Truce

The Truce (1997)
Life's bricks
21 January 2007
The novel of Primo Levi is only pretext for build a strange parable. The spirit or the essence of book are absent in this cruel Odyssey. It is not a story about hope or freedom. It is not a moral lesson or image of old tragedy. It is not a movie, but only a trip in the past shadows essence. In many aspects, it is another Radu Mihailescu's "Train de vie". But the message is more harsh and hopeless. The war and the return to home are fruits of ambiguous nostalgia but their crux is always chimera. The land, the life, the words are more different and the old places are elements of "Tystnaden".

The fundamental value of film is art of suggestion. The tale of returning is message for survivors of crisis or victims of expectation. in fact, the illusions are life's bricks.
