Directed by Roberto Faenza
Based loosely on the
book “Childhood” by physicist Jona Oberski,
LOOK TO THE SKY depicts a hope-filled view of the Holocaust
from the perspective of a young Dutch boy, Jonah, who
spends much of his childhood behind the bars of a Nazi
concentration camp. Only through strength and perseverance
does he emerge from this hell-on-Earth and actually
grow up.
Score by Oscar-Winner
ENNIO MORRICONE (THE UNTOUCHABLES, LA CAGE AUX FOLLES,
THE GOOD,
THE BAD & THE
UGLY).

Remarkable!
The film is as powerful and greatly impacting as any
film I have seen. LOOK TO THE SKY is an amazingly subtle
and yet profoundly moving and shattering film. I cannot
recommend highly enough.”

may be left in tears by its end, but also with a sense
of hope. Look to the Sky is a truly inspiring film
especially in this newly remastered edition.”

director's sensiteveness, depth of feeling and awareness
are praiseworthy... The film has a simple, unassuming
yet elevated style which is never facile or pathetic.”
