Incomplete works, whether on the page, canvas or as sculpture, can have as much fascination as those deemed finished (if anything ever is).
At an hour long, Passenger is but a fragment of what it could have been, and the missing scenes are mainly, one infers, those to have been filmed upon a boat some time after a guard and prisoner - both women - had become embroiled in a Polish death camp. The shipboard sequences, for which stills are supplied, provide a counterpoint to a brilliantly and harrowingly re-creation of a camp (beds which are but holes in a wall, for example) at the evil heart of the Holcaust. The relationship, the taunts, the forced marches to the ovens: these have, of course, become familiar but Passenger - such an innocent-seeming, nautical title - also does service to describe those who made a one-way journey, their ticket marked Oblivion.
There is no film like this, and it should be better known.
