Reviews
"I consider it to be one of the most thought-out films about the terrible time of the Holocaust that I have ever seen - and I've seen many films about that terrible time."
“A pianist looks back on her long life: A look in a mirror shows the face of an old woman. A face that expresses dignity, but also signs of great experience, of suffering and pain, of success and failure. A fascinatingly beautiful face. In addition, reflections in the off - coherent, philosophical, painful: 'My soul is separate from my body' or: 'Time heals all wounds, not with me!' It is in an old train carriage - a journey into the dark of history. A long look and a desperate scream through the window of a concert hall. The memory of a great guilt that the woman carried with her for a lifetime. But was she really guilty? The last concert should bring her peace. A great, even fascinating camera with its black and white pictures captivates the audience. When looking at the woman's face, at the play of light and dark, at the changing perspectives in the concert hall between people frozen in shock and those hidden in breathless fear, who are threatened with a bad fate. A moving, emotional and very special film on the subject of the 'Holocaust' ( particularly valuable , grounds for judgment: FBW-Filmbvalustelle Wiesbaden, August 2014) "
“[...] My last concert is the graduation film by cameraman Nils A. Witt at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences. With a unique precision and a perfect eye for the right settings, his excellent black and white pictures, directed by Selcuk Zvi Cara, tell the tragic story of an unwanted betrayal. The narration itself is deliberately incoherent, jumping from the present to the past and back again. But this only underlines the narrative focus of the film, namely that every action requires a consequence. And that this consequence places a burden on a person for the rest of life, regardless of the time that has already passed. [...] A moving and perfectly composed film, which above all impresses with its visual brilliance. ( particularly valuable , FBW - Filmbewertungsstelle Wiesbaden) "
