Schindler’s List [1993]
The most “palpable” achievement of this film is its stunning black and white cinematography by Janusz Kaminski; truly some of the finest work behind the lens I’ve ever witnessed. Schindler’s List is very restrained, very simple, very non-Spielberg. An extremely painful story but, at the same time, a thing of beauty. Liam Neeson, Embeth Davidtz, and especially Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes are all excellent.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Not something is watch over and over. It’s too painful, but I guess that’s what makes it so powerful.
P.S. Love your choice of movie poster. So very Saul Bass.

Yeah. A very painful experience. Doubt I’ll see it again, haha. But a great film. And yeah, that’s Saul Bass’s rejected artwork for the film!
