This unique and devastating look at the Holocaust is drawn from the autobiographical novel of 2002 Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertesz. Marcell Nagy is vividly moving as Gyuri, a fourteen-year-old Jew living in Budapest in 1944 when the Nazi occupiers send him to the death camps. Devoid of the mawkish manipulation of Life Is Beautiful, Fateless is potently directed by Lajos Koltai from a nuanced script by Kertesz himself. Without flinching from the terrors of the camps, Koltai — a former cinematographer — gives the film a grave allure. Instead of being strange, the lyricism of the images ties in with Gyuri's unexpected nostalgia for the bonds he formed in the camps. Liberated by the Americans, Gyuri is told to forget and move on. It's the memories that Kertesz knows he can never shut out that make Fateless indelibly haunting.

“All Along the Watchtower”

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
