Stellan Skarsgard, who stars in 'The Painted Bird,' believes, for all its violence and controversy, that the film is exactly the kind of movie needed right now: 'We need to remember what war is and to learn from it'
The Painted Bird
The World War II-set film follows a young Jewish boy who wanders from village to village across Eastern Europe, facing one brutal violation after another. The book's title comes from a rural tradition of catching birds, painting them in bright colors and then releasing them into the wild, where these "painted birds" are rejected by their own families as foreign and pecked to death.
Stellan Skarsgard, 68, who plays a war-weary soldier in the film, believes, for all its violence and controversy, thatis exactly the kind of movie needed right now. "This film takes place during the Second World War, but the same things, the same horrors happen today," he says. "We need to remember what war is and to learn from it."
