DVD Rating: 1.5/5.0 Chicago – The plot of “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas,” new to DVD and based on a best-selling novel by John Boyne, may have worked on the page but a number of awful decisions on the way to the screen have taken a story with inherent emotional strength and turned it into misguided, manipulative drama.
People who rent or buy “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” will probably cry, but does that make it a good film? Of course not. Filmmakers who are willing to use children in peril stories just to make you shed a tear aren’t doing anything put pulling at your heartstrings. To what end? If it doesn’t feel real, it’s just manipulation.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was released on DVD on March 10th, 2009.

“The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” feels misguided from minute one.

In preparation for the upcoming DVD release of the film The Boy In The Striped Pajamas on Tuesday, March 10. Here are some DVD Clips Looking for a Friend Another Visit Stealing Food The Boys From the Novel The Boy in the Striped Pajamas stars Asa Butterfield as eight-year-old Bruno, with Vera Farmiga (The Departed, Nothing But the Truth) and David Thewlis (Kingdom of Heaven, the Harry Potter franchise) as his parents, and Jack Scanlon as his friend, Shmuel. Farmiga earned a Best Actress award from the British Independent Film Awards and the film collected two additional nominations for Most Promising Newcomer (Butterfield) and [...]...

In general, we think of David Thewlis as a thoroughly solid actor who is undoubtedly a good person, even when playing revolting (the pimp who serves neighborhood pedophiles in Prime Suspect 3). He has also played romantically obsessed (French poet Paul Verlaine in Total Eclipse), a bemused hero (Edward in1996's The Island of Dr. Moreau), and of course a patently good guy (Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter franchise). The British actor started his artistic life in a band but decided to study acting at London's Guildhall School of Music & Drama when his friends did so. His breakout performance came nearly 10 years into his career, as "rambling street philosopher" Johnny in Mike Leigh's 1993 film Naked, earning Thewlis awards and accolades for playing the fugitive rapist. But in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Thewlis may have given a milestone performance, delving so profoundly into the mind of a...

Release Date: Nov. 7
Director: Mark Herman
Writer: Mark Herman (screenplay), John Boyne (novel)
Cinematographer: Benoît Delhomme
Starring: Asa Butterfield, David Thewlis, Vera Farmiga, Amber Beattie, Jack Scanlon, David Hayman, Rupert Friend
Studio/Running Time: Miramax, 93 mins.
Given how horrific the events of the Holocaust were, it’s no surprise that the film world is still exploring how those events affected everyone involved. The Boy in Striped Pyjamas takes a new perspective, framing the story through the eyes of eight-year old Bruno (Asa Butterfield). His father is a Nazi officer, transferred into a position of oversight of a concentration camp (and later revealed in one of the movie’s strongest moments to be in charge of creating pro-camp propaganda films). Bruno and his sister spent their youth sheltered in Berlin, not picking up much of what had been going around Germany. Upon arrival, though, they find themselves secluded in the countryside.
