_**A boy flees the Iron Curtain for a new life in Western Europe**_ Escaping a concentration camp in 1952 Bulgaria, a cynical boy (Ben Tibber) stows away to Italy, traveling the peninsula to Switzerland on his way to Denmark. Will he find liberty and love or more distrust and hatred? Jim Caviezel plays a prisoner at the camp while Joan Plowright is on hand as a warm elderly woman. Based on Anne Holm’s novel “North to Freedom,” “I Am David” (2003) is an indie drama/adventure by Paul Feig (writer/director). The movie effectively reminds us that there was an Iron Curtain from 1945-1989 and that crimes against humanity were pretty much business-as-usual for Communistic governments in USSR and Eastern Bloc countries. The tone is realistic and low-key with a balance of cruelty, mundaneness, tenderness and amusement. Don’t expect earth-shattering events. The human potential for ugliness & atrocities or beauty & goodwill is explored. There are stereotypes but so what? Stereotypes are stereotypes for good reason (they’re often TRUE). This is a testimony to those who escaped to freedom or died trying. It’s relatively moving, but in a subdued way. The film runs 1 hour, 31 minutes, and was shot in Bulgaria. GRADE: B-/B
