A pivotal moment in contemporary European cinema that confirmed the arrival of a major new talent in Polish-born director Agnieszka Holland, "Europa, Europa" is a passionate, thrilling, and heartfelt film about the tragic experience of Jews during the second World War and a dizzying mediation on the paradoxes of role-playing. The film's telling ironies and tragic absurdities are all the more unsettling for being based on the real-life exploits of Solomon Perel, a young German Jew who cultivates a chameleonic ability to assume identities in order to avert the fate of his fellow Jews. First posing as a fervent young Stalinist, Perel - who harbored aspirations to be Clark Gable - then becomes an accepted and respected member of the Nazi Youth, burying his true background in a desperate bid for survival.
