Black Book, The (in Dutch and German)


Rating = B-

This movie feels like it was made in the 1950s, not long after WWII. It has naivete of plot and a central character with almost Modesty Blaise like qualities of getting everything done that needs to be done. I wonder why the director wanted to make this film in 2007. Of course, he may have wanted to show the contrast between the people in the Dutch resistance and those who were collaborators, and he definitely wanted to exhibit Carice van Houten.
