Oskar Schindler - Liam Neeson
Itzhak Stern - Ben Kingsley
Amon Goeth - Ralph Fiennes
Emilie Schindler - Caroline Goodall
Poldek Pfefferberg - Jonathan Sagalle
Helen Hirsch - Embeth Davidtz
After several attempts at making a fully realized, mature film, Steven Spielberg has finally put it all together in "Schindler's List." A remarkable work by any standard, this searing historical and biographical drama, about a Nazi industrialist who saved some 1,100 Jews from certain death in the concentration camps, evinces an artistic rigor and unsentimental intelligence unlike anything the world's most successful filmmaker has demonstrated before. Marked by a brilliant screenplay, exceptionally supple technique, three staggeringly good lead performances and an attitude toward the traumatic subject matter that is both passionately felt and impressively restrained, this is the film to win over Spielberg skeptics.
