"A Bag of Marbles" is adapted from the autobiographical novel of the French writer Joseph Jorfu. The film tells the escape of a pair of Jewish brothers during the racial cleanup in Germany during World War II. For that heavy history, every director has a different entry point, and films that start with children usually have a sense of lightness that binds them in chains. The most wonderful intertext in the film is designed around the lie about the identity of the protagonist Joseph. When he left home, he was slapped wildly and refused to admit that he was Jewish. , the hardships that only he can understand, not so much the growth history of the boy Joseph, but the history of Jewish life and death. A warm and brutal movie, worth watching.
