*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
After so many Holocaust documentaries, one would think the subject had been exhausted as a subject for cinema. Not so. This Sundance-financed feature is an amazing look at the art work of Auschwitz-Birkenau survivors, one of whom actually served as the personal portrait artist for Josef Mengele, the 'Angel of Death' whose obsession with racial purity led (directly and indirectly) to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of supposed untermenschen. Another survivor, a gypsy lad of 11, served as Mengele's runner and went on as an adult to paint many of the incredibly vivid and deeply moving recreations of camp life seen throughout the film. If As Seen Through These Eyes has a weakness, it's Maya Angelou's plodding and detached narration, but the film is so good that's only a minor quibble.
