Let's Keep It

About This Movie

Let's Keep It (2018) is a thought-provoking documentary that dives deep into Austria's complex relationship with its past. The film tackles the controversial issue of 'aryanized' properties—those that were seized during the Nazi era and subsequently became state-owned post-1945. The tone is somber yet reflective, blending interviews with archival footage that creates a haunting atmosphere. The pacing is steady, allowing the viewer to absorb the uncomfortable truths of restitution and historical amnesia. It's less about providing answers and more about confronting the moral implications of the past. The director's approach feels personal, almost like a tribute to victims, making it distinct in the landscape of historical documentaries.
