Another phantasmagorical tale of life among the Nazis, is upon us. This one works much better.

Every bit as reverent as "Schindler's List," and no less successful.

More imaginative and responsible than the somewhat similar "Life Is Beautiful."

Far superior to either "Life Is Beautiful" or "Jakob the Liar."

A tragicomic Holocaust fable that's by turns silly, triumphant and achingly sad.

What saves Train of Life from sinking into sudsy Holocaust kitsch is its sustained comic buoyancy.

Less-than-scintillating spin on "Life Is Beautiful."

A merry, wistful, tear-and-a-smile romp about the Holocaust, of all things.

Much of the film is frankly ludicrous, but that does little to dispel its overall power and passion.
