Black Book
Manage episode 508484952 series 2964118
Keeping secrets...In the shadows... Or something more descriptive/funny/entertaining, etc.
This film is the very definition of "twisty-turny", full of characters waiting to double-cross or double-cross those double-crossers. Maybe the twistiest, turniest film we've ever covered. More so than WILD THINGS. A very serious film about the Dutch Resistance fighters during the Second World War made by Paul Verhoeven.
BLACK BOOK marked his departure from Hollywood and a return to Holland since making THE FOURTH MAN. This is a very accomplished film by a very accomplished filmmaker and is well worth a watch or two to get all the little details he put in there.
Sit back and strap in for a 2.5-hour ride (don't worry, this episode is only 50 minutes).
