Mendel lebt offers a deeply personal glimpse into the life of Mendel Szajnfeld, a Holocaust survivor, as he reunites with filmmaker Grabe nearly three decades after their first meeting. The tone is contemplative, weaving together past memories with present reflections, creating an atmosphere steeped in history and emotion. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb Mendel's stories and the weight they carry. This documentary is distinct in its raw portrayal of survival, resilience, and the lingering effects of trauma. Practical effects are minimal—it's all about Mendel's presence and the authenticity of his experiences. There's something powerful about seeing the evolution of his narrative over time, a testament to the human spirit and the importance of remembering.
