Adapted from Heather Morris' bestselling novel, this Peacock miniseries stars Harvey Keitel as a man who recounts how he fell in love with a fellow prisoner at Auschwitz.
'This is a love story,' says Lali Sokolov at the beginning of 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz,' as a caveat, or perhaps a come-on — not your usual Holocaust tale, then, that we're about to begin. The memories of real-life survivor Sokolov became the basis of a 2018 novel by New Zealand writer Heather Morris, who interviewed him over three years with an eye to writing a screenplay.
If'The Tattooist' doesn't quite register as an Uplifting Testament to the Power of the Human Spirit — to its credit, I'd say — it's an honorable project, honorably made, moving at times, horrifying at others, in broad strokes and small details. As the lovers, Hauer-King and Próchniak are sweet and sad, with Próchniak making an especially strong impression. In terms of screen charisma, it's easier to see what he saw her than what she saw in him.
