One Life
One Life synopsis

Product description

ONE LIFE tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realised it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed?

Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It’s not until a live BBC television show, ‘That’s Life’, surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children – now adults – that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.

    Bought as a gift after I'd watched the film on a streaming service. A very good film that appears to have slipped under the publicity radar.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2024

    Sir Anthony Hopkins in the story of Nicholas Winton. Who saved six hundred and sixty nine children from the Nazis. A story that didn't come out till many years later.

    This has two narrative strands. Johnny Flynn plays the younger Nicholas back in the day, as his first exposure to the horrors of Nazi Europe drive him to try and save as many as he can. Then Sir Anthony Hopkins as the 1980's Nicholas.

    You realise early on this isn't going to be a simple biopic. It's instead all about the past. How it can haunt you forever. And how to deal with it. The moment when you realise that it's doing this in the 1980's strand is so understated it really hits.

    The 1930's section does have to cover a fair bit of a timespan, so does a few montages. It gets in all that it needs though. It does highlight what a team effort it all was. It is emotional at times. And the way it ends will stay with you for a while. Helena Bonham Carter makes an impression as his assertive German born mother.

    It's in the 1980's section this really shines though. Anthony Hopkins is as amazing as you would expect. Period details are spot on. And it's very interesting to watch how the story all came out. Which confronts the theme that I mentioned. It does get very emotional. A judicious score really helps with this. I think sometimes emotion can hit harder without incidental music. It finds the right way to end also.

    It's a BBC production and thus delivers with historical costumes. It's also really good at recreating that's life. Samanatha Spiro doing a superb job as Esther Rantzen.

    This was overlooked by the Baftas and the Oscars. Which is a shame. Incredible acting. Excellent score. Superb direction. A superb film all round. And a perfect tribute also.

    Do have a hankie handy when watching, as something will get stuck in your eye at points.

    The dvd goes straight into the menu when loaded with no trailers or ads.

    Language and subtitle options:

    Languages: English.
    Subtitles: English.

    Extras:

    You would hope for the That's Life edition. But you don't get it. It can be found online though.
    What you do get is Celebrating Winton's Kindertransportees. Dvd extras are most often promotional material. But this is something special indeed. An eleven minute long look at some of the children themselves as they are now going to a screening of the film. And interviews with some giving their memories. This is as emotional as you would expect. Just like the film, it has to be watched.

    I thought I had read or heard all the tales of ordinary people’s incredible acts of compassion and bravery during the 2nd world war, but I had never heard of Nicholas Winton until recently.
    Of course Anthony Hopkins was superb, as was Helena Bonham Carter as his mother, but the rest of the cast were new to me. All wonderful characters sympathetically brought to life, an amazing story beautifully told. Johnny Flynn was entirely credible as the young “Nicky”. The only slight criticism was the choice of the actress who played Esther Rantzen, her voice was rather shrill. Do not watch this without a box of tissues handy.

    It's good that his brave story is told. But I didn't like the jumping into the past then back to pleasant time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2024

    I don’t understand why this film hadn’t received wider acclaim. Schindlers list had a similar theme and was feted worldwide, yet this true story about a British businessman who saved nearly 700 children from the Nazis is largely overlooked.

    As well as telling the story of Winton’s actions in 1938, the film moves on to 1988 and a BBC documentary where some of the children are reunited with their saviour. Winton has been filled with grief over those he couldn’t save and the take is both poignant and heartwarming as he eventually comes to terms with the past. Superb performance from Hopkins and Bonham Carter and an I terestin extra which celebrates the Kindertransportees. A film to watch more than once.

    An inspiring and heartbreaking film about the difference one man can make!

    A true and very emotional film. Sir Anthony Hopkins plays the lead role absolutely beautifully. This was shown on the Esther Rantzen's That's Life program in the 80s and features in the film. A very moving story of a man (and his team) who saved 669 children from the hands of the evil Hitler regime. Highly recommended viewing indeed.
