(wikipedia | filmaffinity)

[fuente] En un apartamento en el tercer piso de un edificio estilo Bauhaus de Tel Aviv era donde vivían los abuelos del cineasta Arnon Goldfinger desde que emigraron a Palestina en 1930 huyendo de la Alemania nazi. Cuando la abuela falleció a los 98 años, la familia acudió a limpiar lo que quedaba en el apartamento; objetos, fotografías, cartas y documentos que no esperaban y que revelaban las huellas de un pasado turbulento y desconocido. La película, que comienza con el vaciado de un piso se convierte en una aventura fascinante, en la que entran en juego inesperados intereses nacionales, una amistad que cruza las líneas enemigas, y las emociones de la familia profundamente reprimidas. Incluso revela algunos secretos que, probablemente, deberían haber permanecido ocultos.

Arnon Goldfinger, en Israeli Film Database, escribió:The flat, on the third floor of a Bauhaus building in Tel Aviv, was where my grandparents lived since they immigrated to Palestine. Were it not for the view from the windows, one might name throught that the flat was in Berlin. There it was, furnished with heavy European pieces, with the best of German literature, and laden with layers of dust and history. And then, at age 98, my grandmother died and we were called to the flat to empty up what was left. Objects, pictures, letters, and documents awaited us, revealing the complex lives of my grandparents Gerda and Kurt Tuchler, as well as traces of a troubled and painful past. Suddenly, I found myself going through every drawer, trying to make sense of the hints left behind.

What is the importance of knowing one's family history? Is it just a heavy and unnecessary burden? The answer probably lies within every person. In my family's case, this question never came up. To be honest, we never discussed anything about the past. That is, until we opened the closets.... The film develops into a riveting adventure, involving unexpected national interests, a friendship that crosses enemy lines, and deeply repressed family emotions. And even reveals some secrets that should have probably remained untold...

Subtítulos: inlcuidos en inglés, español y francés. Los ingleses están bastante bien (mejor dicho, se pueden corregir con cierta facilidad), pero los subs en español y francés tienen muchos errores de OCR (entre otras cosas, faltan todas las letras con caracteres especiales, como acentos). Intentaré arreglarlos, aunque me llevará mucho tiempo.

El anterior ripeo no tiene una calidad de imagen óptima. El documental ha sido editado por IFC Films, según Amazon en BluRay, pero no he podido localizar ningún ripeo HD.

AMG REVIEW: Jewish filmmaker Arnon Goldfinger makes a shocking discovery in his late grandparents' Tel Aviv apartment, and learns that some of the most meaningful truths in life go unspoken while attempting to solve a mystery that spans back generations in The Flat -- a fascinating and acutely observed look at the struggles we face while attempting to confront the pains of the past.

In the wake of his 98-year-old grandmother's passing, Goldfinger commences the arduous process of cleaning out the Tel Aviv flat she lived in for 70 years. When the Nazis seized power in Germany, Goldfinger's grandparents Gerda and Kurt Tuchler fled to Tel Aviv. There, the couple led a rich life, and continued to grow a family. Gerda and Kurt never spoke to their daughter or grandchildren about their experiences during the Holocaust, so upon finding Nazi propaganda and friendly correspondences between his grandparents and a high-ranking SS official, the filmmaker is determined to find out how the very people who were forced to leave their homeland due to such intense persecution could have been close friends with someone who seemed committed to exterminating their entire race. Along with his mother, whose philosophy on life is to focus on the present, Goldfinger begins an incredible journey into the past that reveals how the most profound truths can sometimes be swept under the rug for the sake of sheltering the ones we love most.

Despite dealing with such a heavy subject matter, Goldfinger disarms us early on by setting an almost playful tone as his family sorts though his grandparents' belongings. With spirited narration, he invites us into the flat much like an old family friend so that once the mystery begins to unfold we have a real sense of connection to their group history and individual personalities. Given the recurrent theme of friendship that runs through The Flat, it's a smart move that helps to keep the tone from becoming too oppressive once Goldfinger begins delving into some of the darker details of his grandparents' lives. There is no Holocaust footage or graphic imagery of any kind to be found in the documentary, but a pervasive air of tragedy and sadness lingers over Goldfinger's journey that's made more palatable by the director's disarming approach early on. Meanwhile, as Goldfinger travels to Germany for multiple visits with the SS officer's daughter, their friendly interactions can't entirely mask the tension that lingers heavily in the air whenever the subject of the Holocaust arises.

It's at this point that we begin to see the true heart of Goldfinger's film. By refusing to discuss or research the matter with any real commitment, individuals on both sides of the conflict make a noble yet misguided attempt to protect themselves and their loved ones. But when we bury the past under a concrete slab of silence, we not only prevent future generations from embracing their heritage, but also deny them any chance of learning from the mistakes of that past. A brief yet informative discussion with an expert on Nazis and denial late in the film offers an illuminating insight into the mindset of both the perpetrators of the violence and its victims, and serves as the perfect setup for a final conversation with the SS officer's daughter in which Goldfinger confronts her with irrefutable evidence of her father's misdeeds. This painfully awkward scene -- punctuated by a Freudian slip that perfectly illustrates our instinctive inability to gaze directly into the absolute darkness of the truth -- simultaneously highlights the filmmaker's adroit sense of timing and structure. By presenting us with a compelling mystery that's personally tied to one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century and deftly confronting the methods which future generations employ in dealing with it, Goldfinger establishes himself as a director who's committed to encouraging thoughtful reflection and debate on the subject at hand, and someone who is willing to personally put himself out there for the sake of a greater cause. It's a brave move, and fortunately as a filmmaker, Goldfinger has the talent to back it up. -- Jason Buchanan
