16TH DOCS AGAINST GRAVITY FILM FESTIVAL

MAREK EDELMAN... I BYLA MILOSC W GETCIE (MAREK EDELMAN... AND THERE WAS LOVE IN THE GHETTO)

Watchable. Love let them forget where they were but that same love got the couples killed. In some cases, displays of affection were life-saving though, e.g. when a Jewish liaison girl coddled with her equally Jewish boyfriend overtly, without averting gaze the way their kind normally did. I learnt that also Estonians killed for Nazis. The documentary becomes even funny when the interviewee gets upset with the director. Excellent cinematography but the film's protracted at times.
