This last weekend was the Best of SIFF showings, and I got to see a film I really wanted to see during the festival but it sold out (I was literally five minutes too late - tickets went from 'selling fast' to gone while I was on the website trying to buy one). It sold out this time too, but I was quicker!
The Last Suit. A Polish Jew who survived the Nazis emigrated to Argentina after the war. Seventy years later, at almost ninety years old, he decides to return to Poland to look for the friend who saved his life in 1945.
This story of a cantankerous, ill and scared old man travelling through a Europe completely different from the one he remembers was everything I had hoped it would be. It's both funny and utterly heartbreaking, and I really must remember to take tissues with me when I go to see films like this! 9/10
Trailer for the 'The Last Suit' here.
