Masculin féminin (1966)
A romance between young Parisians, shown through a series of vignettes.
Quirky,
witty, meandering analysis of young relationships may appear fleeting
at first sight, but is fascinating to watch and reveals much more under
its surface; and, alone Jean-Pierre Léaud is worth the admission fee.
Halliwell**:
"An exploration of pop culture and politics, in a sequence of episodes
intercut with arbitrary happenings, and as much concerned with form as
content, moving cinema away from straightforward narrative to something
more abstract and less interesting."
Maltin***: "Engaging, original concoction mixes politics, sex, comedy, nostalgia with standard boy-meets-girl theme."

Auschwitz: The Nazis & the 'Final Solution' (2005)
The history of the Final Solution phase of the Nazi Holocaust, particularly with the most infamous of the death camps.
Thorough
and comprehensive history of the Nazis' "final solution" doesn't spare
its audience the view of the atrocities, but does so with caution and
rather delivers more details of the succession of events that led to the
crime.
