Review of Into the White (2012) by Igor A — 07 Feb 2013
Into the White an anti-war film directed by Petter Næss and written by Ole Meldgaard, Dave Mango and Petter Næss. Starring David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff, Florian Lukas, Rupert Grint and Lachlan Nieboer.
The film is based on a true-life incident in 1940. Two different fighter-jets, British and German (respectively), are shot down with a fellow crew member over the Norwegian fjords, RAF airman Smith (Grint) takes shelter from the life-threatening blizzards in an abandoned cabin. Unfortunately a Luftwaffe aircrew has beaten them to it.
I am sucker for plots like these; 'survival' attracts me to explore the humane side of men, caught amidst the cruel nature. There is excellent performance from entire cast, superb photography and praiseworthy direction. It's brilliant attempt to show rather different perspective view of men-in-uniform, no matter even if they belong to Nazi.
