It was a very good movie - it is interesting how Polanski remembers his childhood - the scenes of bodies lying all over the streets, the wheelchair coming out of the apartment window etc, but I think that Adrian Brodi didn't have the skills to pull of the main character - at some parts he seemed to be doing a Stan Laurel impression - but still a very good movie.
BTW the best movie I ever seen about the war and its effects on people was "Pasquilinis Seven Beauties" - anyone who has seen it will never forget the female Commandant in the POW camp.
