Anne Frank movie gets bad review
Animated feature called `too beautiful,
idealistic'
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- The story of Anne Frank is coming to the
silver screen as an
animated feature in the hope of reaching a younger audience.
But the movie, produced by Japanese film maker Seiya Araki, has been
snubbed by the Anne
Frank Foundation, guardian of the teen-age diarist's image.
``The way they represented Anne and the history of World War II was too
beautiful and too
idealistic,'' foundation spokesman Teresien da Silva said Wednesday.
``It's not the medium, it's the content. . . . We don't doubt Araki's
integrity, but we can't
cooperate with everything that has to do with Anne,'' Da Silva said.
The 103-minute feature, based on Anne's diary, took three years to make and
will be dubbed in
several languages. Its premiere will be held on her birthday, June 12, at
an Amsterdam cultural
center.
The foundation refused to promote the film after reading the script and
viewing a 10-minute
promotional video.
Araki defended the production, saying animation ``would be easily accepted
by children . . .
without stressing the tragic factor too much.''
Araki said the foundation wanted more of a focus on Nazi persecution,
whereas he wanted to
concentrate on the diary's content.
``By showing the sudden collapse of . . . daily life and Anne's youthful
days as an ordinary young
girl, we thought that we could appeal much more to the illogical cruelty of
the war,'' Araki said in
written responses to questions from the Associated Press.
Anne and her family hid for two years from the Nazis in a secret annex
behind an Amsterdam canal
house before they were betrayed and deported to death camps. Anne died of
typhus at the
Bergen-Belsen camp in March 1945. She was 15.
Her diary was found and later published.
Amsterdam's Tuschinski Cinema, a national monument where virtually all
Dutch premieres are
held, was originally selected for the movie's debut. But the theater
declined after consulting the
Anne Frank Foundation.
``They didn't agree with the film and we won't go with it,'' said Fred
Bertsch, head of
programming for MGM Holland, which owns Tuschinski.
Adaptation of Anne's diary for the stage caused a major controversy in the
1950s because of
disputes over production rights.
A 1959 movie, starring Millie Perkins as Anne, won Shelley Winters an Oscar
as best supporting
actress.
