Description

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (released as The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in North America) is a 2008 Holocaust historical drama film written and directed by Mark Herman. It is based on the 2006 novel of the same name by John Boyne. Set in Nazi-occupied Poland, the film follows the son of a Schutzstaffel (SS) officer who befriends a Jewish prisoner of his age. The film was released in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2008, and received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics for its emotional weight, mature themes and acting, but was panned by scholars for misrepresenting elements of the Holocaust.
