The Zookeeper's Wife (2017)



The Zookeeper's Wife tells the account of keepers of the Warsaw Zoo, Antonina and Jan Zabinski, who helped save hundreds of people and animals during the German invasion.

Heartfelt, but a bit melodramatic depiction of a true story, the zoo and its animals merely the backdrop to a more existential fate; Chastain is good in the title role and Brühl is well cast as the sleazy SS director of the Berlin zoo.
