Can We Please Just Stop With The Holocaust Movies? (A Response to Agnieszka Holland’s ‘In Darkness’)

“I know the arguments about never forgetting; that making movies or writing books about the Holocaust is a way to keep these memories alive. But books — libraries full of them — have been written. Plenty of good films (bad ones, too) have been made, and this output will endure. Why do we need fresh entries at this point? Is anyone truly going to see In Darkness to learn about war-time atrocities? Or are they driven by some pornographic instinct?”
