Because my friend was in this film, we went to the opening night last night of Prevednik (Hebrew title: Zadik) or The Righteous Gentile, about a Russian Officer, Nicolai Kisliov, who saved hundreds of Jews in WWII. Since it’s in Russian with Hebrew subtitles and it’s almost three hours long, this is not for everyone, but it is a riveting film.

it’s also a bit of a propaganda film about the cruelty of Germans and the kindness of Russians in the war.  

(My friend’s part about the court in Israel deciding whether to select this officer as a righteous gentile was also cut)
