I love this course, but...

I am so not watching this film because the idea of mixing Robin Williams and the Holocaust makes me want to be sick.

Jakob the Liar I take it?

Yeah. No idea if it's good or not, and it's not like I don't like Robin Williams, but... the Holocaust? Really?

Both of those things make me want to be sick, let alone together. I don't care if the film is brilliant and he turns in a most nuanced and heartbreaking performance, I just cannot think of him in any context without being swamped by his typecasting.
OTOH it cannot possibly be as awful as that recent Eichmann film that wore out my fast-forward button.
I'm now faced with a morbid curiosity to ask what this mystery film is like when you see it. (Is it for an essay/exam or just related material in your course?)
