Movie Review: Porcelain Unicorn. Just when you think you’ve seen enough Holocaust-related Art to last several lifetimes, along comes a piece which has you begging for more. Porcelain Unicorn, the winning short in this year’s Tell It Your Way Parallel Lines film-making contest run by Philips Cinema, was inspired by true war stories and a Joseph Conrad novel. In barely three minutes and using only the six set lines of dialogue permitted by the competition rules, American Keegan Wilcox manages to evoke the era’s gratuitous brutality, unexpected kindnesses and great heroism while showing how an early experience may inspire deeds at a later stage in life.
Rarely have I been so moved in so short a time by a Holocaust-related film. The story is of a Hitler Youth member befriending an Anne Frank-type character after finding her in hiding in an otherwise abandoned house. He could not have chosen a more apt motif for Holocaust survival as the mythical horse is said to be a symbol of endurance, perseverance and wisdom. How Is Your Phone Changing You?
