Amen. (2002) Reviews

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this movie and I should probably re-watch it at some point. Still, I remember it very well and I even saw it in the movie theater when it was released. First of all, the poster was designed by Oliviero Toscani who became famous in the 90’s for the controversials ads he made for Benetto and the poster he made for this movie didn’t please everybody but I thought it was just really awesome . Concerning the movie itself,it is not as well known as 'Schindler's list' or 'The Pianist' but I think it's a pity because it was a great and spellbinding picture. Back in the 80's-70's, Costa-Gavras was one of the most influential directors around, I think it was the first time I saw one of his movies and, right away, I became a huge fan of his work. Nowadays, he seems to be rather forgotten but this movie displayed that he didn't lose his directing skills at all. To conclude, I think it is a great movie and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre or if you are interested in Costa-Gavras’s work.
