Today I saw
Zwartboek(aka:Black Book) in a theatre, and it was really amazing movie. "Zwartboek" was as good as "Schindler's List" and "The Pianist". The Main character is a Jewish woman.
The time is WW II. Rachel Steinn is a Jewish singer forced to flee her home. After she escaped, she sets up a new identity for herself to avoid being captured and killed by the Germans. Then Rachel joins the resistance and infiltrated to a Nazi stronghold for spy. But.....
I assure this is the best Verhoeven's movie. Oh, you don't like "Showgirl" or "Starship Troopers", so you don't like his movies? Forget about it! "Zwartboek" is not like them. This movie is about love and hate, faith and treachery, good and evil. It had not emotional moments like "Schindler's List" and "The Pianist", but the movie had some good suspense and thrilling moments and even a little bit of humor. But this is not entertainment movie. Some scenes were bloody gory and brutal and violent. Nevertheless I couldn't shut my eyes.
Carice van Houten as Rachel were excellent! For her you should check this movie. Her acting, her attractiveness, her singing, her
everything.
