The Zookeeper’s Wife (PG) ****
Righteous Soul!
Funny how history has a way of repeating itself. Or call
it sad. Elements of the Polish government are currently in the
process of planning to water down that country’s role during and
after World War 2 concerning the killing of Jews. People wanting
to learn about the truth of what happened during that tumultuous
time can see a glimpse of humanity with The Zookeeper’s Wife.
Cut from the same cloth of Steve Spielberg’s Schindler’s List this
no less compelling story comes your way on Netflix. Contact your
local cable company or internet provider to order Netflix if you
haven’t already to witness a one of a kind story.
Real stories can be extraordinary. The Zookeeper’s Wife
fits that bill to a tee. Here we have a gentile family living in Warsaw
whose claim to fame is running a first class, no make that world
class zoo. Jan and Antonina Zabinski run the zoo and have built
up quite a following including the admiration of a German official.
That friendship comes into play when the Third Reich marches
into Poland and as we all know the animals are treated a million
times better than the Jews.
Being people of morality and a social conscience the Zabinskis
hatch a masterful plan to run circles around the master race
saving scores of Jews in the process. Busy as can be chameleon
actress’ Jessica Chastain (Molly’s Game) continues to blossom
and refine her game further while smooth as silk Daniel Bruhl
(Inglorious Bustards) is utterly convincing as German officer Lutz
Heck whose devotion to the Fuhrer can not be underestimated.
