. ON THE OSCAR SHORT LIST 2020! THE LIGHT IS ONLY VISIBLE IN THE DARKNESS The boy, whose parents are being hunted by the Nazis, has been placed in a foster home with an elderly woman. Soon the old woman dies and the Boy is now alone, wandering through the countryside, from village to farm. In his fight for survival, the Boy endures immense brutality from the uneducated and superstitious peasants and witnesses the terrible acts of violence committed by the ruthless soldiers, from both the Russian and German troops. When the war finally ends, the Boy has been changed, forever. The Painted Bird is a raw and thorough depiction of Eastern Europe at war, filmed in black and white on 35mm. Based on the acclaimed book by Jerzy Kosinski and starring Harvey Keitel , Stellan Skarsgård , Udo Kier and Julian Sands , among others. A film you will never forget!
