The City and the City finds more of a focal point when it deals directly with the horrors of the Nazi occupation... and its the use of archival footage and explanatory intertitles, creates a more vivid sense of history. Go to Full Review Bradley Gibson Film Threat 02/20/2022

There is a balance that needs to be struck between a commitment never to forget and knowing when enough is enough. The story of Thessaloniki in The City and The City shows us that we are not there yet. Go to Full Review Alex Goldstein One Room With A View 02/17/2022
3/5
