A race of small, furry aliens make lunch out of the locals in a farming town. Review In The Zookeepers Wife, the Holocaust Seems Tame. Her beloved charges get more screen time than the Jews whose lives the couple saves and who mostly remain anonymous, their personal stories left untold. They creep out of hiding and convene like a ghostly family when Antonina signals them by playing the piano. The most emotional scene has nothing to do with Nazis, Jews or the Holocaust. In this surefire set piece, which feels shoehorned into the film, Antonina saves the life of a baby elephant to which she administers CPR, risking being trampled by the adorable creatures agitated mother. Otherwise, The Zookeepers Wife plays like a medium gloss rerun of other more gripping depictions of Nazi evil and Jewish suffering. It at least sustains a cool pictorial grandeur in its portrayal of the Nazi invasion of Poland as bombers sweep the skies and armored tanks roll into Warsaw as the city erupts in panic, its peace and quiet shattered in one horrifying instant. As bombs rain on the zoo, the frightened, confused animals run wild in the streets, and amid the chaos an elephant is shot.

After the invasion, Antonina and Jan are greeted with unctuous cordiality by Lutz Heck Daniel Brhl, a suave Nazi zoologist who offers to transport the zoos most prized animals to Berlin for safekeeping. During their stay, he says, he plans to use them for selective breeding. To keep the zoo from being closed, the quick witted couple come up with the idea of converting it into a hog farm, which would produce meat to feed the German soldiers.

Jans plan is to smuggle Jews hidden under the refuse to the zoo, where they are secreted in the basement of the house occupied by the family, which includes their young son, Ryszard played at different ages by Timothy Radford and Val Maloku. There are ample opportunities for the movie to stir up fear each time the truck leaves the ghetto, but the film has little appetite for cliffhanging suspense. The fugitives who emerge from under the garbage dont look much the worse for wear. Although not without moments of terror and desperation, the screenplays leisurely timing subverts their dramatic impact. A subplot involves Antoninas precarious balancing act as she charms the besotted Lutz, and resists surrendering to his increasingly aggressive moves as her jealous husband watches nervously from a distance. The screenplay is so frightened of this material that it isnt always clear whether she has succumbed.

Ms. Chastains watchful, layered performance helps keep the film on an even keel, but it is not enough to prevent The Zookeepers Wife, with its reassuringly cuddly critters, from feeling like a Disney version of the Holocaust.
