Review of Black Book (2006) by Ipek K — 16 Feb 2009
This movie should be placed among the cults related to tragedy of Jewish people during the WWII like Schindlers list, Pianist and Life is beautiful. It presents the Dutch perspective from the angle of the Jews and the resistance fighters, also accompanied by the conflicts of interests between them from time to time.
There is love, hate, revenge, betrayal, courage, fight, adventure, everything about war, but the most important thing is the scale of the events is not too large to grasp, and you can easily establish empathy with the woman character.
Carice Von Houten is a beauty; I can never think a replacement for her. Highly recommend this movie. It will nail you down. The movie can be distinguished from the other black-white-grey war films by its colorful nature and very few scenes over humiliation of the Jews whereas the drama expressed by all means.
