The Grey Zone (2002)
Well, the title's appropriate -- a more drab or visually flat film would be rather hard to find. The film tackles a fascinating subject (groups of Jews who helped run the Nazi death camps in exchange for more privileges and a couple more months of life), and the ensemble cast handles the material with skill (who knew David Arquette could act?), but I doubt anything short of full-on Painted Bird-style absurdism could get me involved in a Holocaust movie at this point.
Grade: C+
